Tech Parasites
Business men for years have been making unearned and undeserved money off of the inventions of genius technology creators. I know of someone who makes millions of dollars a year buying stocks and selling them at a higher price milliseconds later with no risk of losing money. Situations like this are an abomination because people who did not develop or create anything are making profit for nothing. Now, if we live in fear of every immoral practice in the business world, we would live a very fearful life. Many of these immoral practices are fed by inventors selling their patents or not caring how they are used. We, as inventors, need to hold onto our patents and do all that we can to make sure that our technologies are being used how we intend them to be used.

I think the real future of tech innovation exists not in creating patents as software developers, but sharing our ideas with the world and even opening up our implementations.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful idea but we have to think about supporting our families as well. Just like the joker said "if you're good at something, never do it for free."
DeleteI agree with Addison. I also agree that money should be earned; there ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
ReplyDeleteWhat they are doing requires a lot of effort, so technically it isn't a "free" lunch. Also, companies need investors to be competitive with large corporations and what better way to manage this than the free market?
