• A comment on Conversation: How get high speed internet access with low budget in third world countries?

  Sep 30 2012: I think this is a gradual process related with demand and supply and initiative of government and private sector. As far as I remember almost 5 year back we had to pay almost triple of what we are paying today for internet. As the demand went up competition became high and the price went down. Though its still not quite affordable accessibility has improved a lot. There can also be several things affecting in the background but I positively believe there will be changes in due course of time.

  A comment on Conversation: "Thinking" differently actually makes the difference! isn't it?

  Aug 7 2012: IN MY VIEW:
  "Thinking" is the first step to making something real. All different things came into existence only after thought so it does make a difference

• A reply on Conversation: Laboring by the human race will someday be extinct. We've been working on eliminating the need for employment since the start of thinking.

  Aug 7 2012: krisztian, we all are living in somebody's imaginary world today cause all change comes from imagination so why not to imagine.
  
  reason it should happen differently is felt more by people who don't have than people who have, I don't know which side you belong but I belong to the have not. But I do agree imagination alone will do nothing so I am working on it as well.
  
  Regarding the progress that happened in the 19th and 20th century we all know the extent of damage we have done to our habitat. I also feel that all things that grow big and strong aren't necessarily good and I seriously feel the type of economy I see today is more evil than good.

  Aug 4 2012: you talk about what is happening right now and I am talking about how it may or should happen. I think production of any kind should be public owned and automated whether it's iphone, cars or even houses. People in general should concentrate on newer technological achievements and such achievements should be implemented by public owned (global scale) production places so that even if there is profit it gets distributed equally.
  
  Current structure of private ownership or limited ownership has caused unnecessary conflict and created obstacle in implementing technology which are truly good. Greed has made us blind so unlimited public ownership should be the key.

• A reply on Conversation: Is modern communication going to produce a generation that doesn't understand body language or verbal expression?

  Aug 4 2012: you expressed yourself well bravo. was that your true emotion or logic to get me wrong ;).
  
  I understand there are literary works, songs and several other things which express our emotion very well however body language and facial expression are the natural reaction of our expression which confirm our true feelings, sometime even without saying or doing anything. If modern generation avoids physical interaction and depends completely upon indirect interaction through technology then its quite possible that such generation may not understand body language or facial expression. I also think that a logical person will produce less emotional reaction. Since our education teaches us logic and even society expects logical reaction our new generation will know less about emotion anyway.

  Aug 3 2012: IN MY VIEW:
  Modern communication focuses more on logic than emotional chitchat. We use body language and verbal expression to express our emotion. How much priority will be given to logic over emotion should play a key role for new generation.

• A comment on Conversation: Which factor will be considered more in the future? Profit or benefit?

  Aug 3 2012: IN MY VIEW:
  Consideration is always given to necessity but how we view and define necessity changes constantly. Currently profit is given consideration in order to make saving and living a relaxed life in later stages. There can be several other motivation as well such as acknowledgement, gaining power etc. The feeling of insecurity is very high in people specially regarding their future hence all they can think of is generating profit cause they believe it benefit them. Even though we aim profit we are doing so for our benefit. However our such action has blinded us from the holistic view of benefit. We focus on our profit and short term benefits but what we should do is focus on overall profit and long term benefit. I think in future people will understand the long term goal and will act accordingly

  A comment on Conversation: We want to build a unique, a non-profit school in Tajikistan for children from middle and poor class families.

  Aug 3 2012: IN MY VIEW:
  If you have already received the fund then all you need is a focused objective and step by step plan of execution. I understood that you want to create a unique school but I think rather than being unique, your school should become needed. Your school shouldn't just educate but empower your students with needed skills. Focus should be there to identify and enhance their imagination and creativity. You should concern about management of the school but more focus and concern should be given towards the students. What you teach them and how you teach changes them and along with them changes society and then country.

• A reply on Conversation: Machine which generates energy using concept of human digestive system.

  Jul 31 2012: well i had thought some one will take it in this angle ;). but my concept is not based on generating electricity from human body rather my focus is in replicating one of the simple part of human body "Stomach" to process organic materials to generate sugar which can be used to generate energy and some how store excess sugar as fat which can be utilized later

• A comment on Conversation: Machine which generates energy using concept of human digestive system.

  Jul 31 2012: I feel human body has several advantages over all other technology and its a true technical achievement of nature. We have started treating our body as machine already and have started fixing it mending it and even growing it. Our body is constantly generating energy even if its day or night. Since we have already made so many wild ideas real why not think about studying how our body generates, stores and utilizes energy and utilizing that knowledge to create a completely natural way of generating energy.
