  Jul 17 2012: Thank you for your thoughts, I agree with you. We really are controlled by the institutions and Multi-Nationals! I still remember the launch of Apple iPhone, it was really a sad picture! People went crazy, and waited for hours for just a piece of led, plastic and silicons! And its expensive as also you have to pay for the applications to run this Parasitical gadget! Even the creator of iPod admitted in an interview when he was asked what really made his iPod a hit and made people crazy. His answer was nothing but a surprise!!He even didn't know why people going crazy after his creation, when its just a simple Mp3 player!!
  
  So we need to change all this crap! We have to decide something very quick. What i am seeing is a Another revolution, and its hitting very soon now!!

  Jul 17 2012: Thank You Sarah, Every word given out here, from you also! Has really given me some hope to change what was missing in my thoughts and doings. I have gone through some super brain storming about getting the course right on track, among my circle of my friends. That is why i have brought it here to get more and more knowledge and suggestions from my fellow TED community. I'm taking a note of every thing, and finalizing what i am going to put in front of me once for all!! Thank you once again, Everybody's thoughts helped and encouraged me to follow my dreams into reality. God Bless!!

  Jul 16 2012: Mr Hussain, Thank you for your thoughts! I know all the fundamental philosophies to be a successful entrepreneur! Can you tell me just one thinig, How many companies have established in past two decades?... The numbers are so staggering and this is actually what i am talking about!! Why all (in the family) have to work today for the survival, back then our forefathers easily managed all this! Isn't it?...

  Jul 16 2012: Thank you very much for giving in your thoughts!! Its not the defeatist attitude, its the environment around today created by the 1%. Why i said that the time was easy for the Gates and Jobs back then, they had less competitive environment and cost of the goods were way too less than today. You could buy many things with one dollar at that time than now! I have told my story and innovative ideas to the companies who could provide me the sources, i mean the money! But they want no competition, they want you to sell your ideas to them. And that is the reason the wealth has just shifted to only afew people in the world, and they want to occupy your dreams to make them more money! And far that financial institutions are concerned, They just want to double the money given out in the loans and it takes hell a lot of time for the one to pay back loans with higher interest rates.
  
  So it wasn't that hard for them to start anything! I have already asked similar questions to the world bank president, after his speech and a few company heads when they share their experiences! They just tell us to do this, do that, but hardly give us any space to move in our own pipe line!! And back then they had all the time in the world to do anything they wanted. For example, iPhone was came out from a company who was already an established group. Nokia, Samsung etc Establishing your brand today with out any sources is a giant task, also when these establishments are already in action. Do you think if you tell your story to KFC now with the same as they do, with more innovations, to ask for help, will they help you to set up something of your own? I don't think so! :) anyways, I really appreciate your words though!

  A comment on Conversation: What does the simple good mean to you?

  Jul 15 2012: I think we are connected to each other from the beginning. But our socio-economics have changed dramatically since the revolution of the wheel! We transformed from empires to republics. More inventions were made, more faster transportation helped us to trade and structuring the economies. We went nationals to Multi-Nationals! So we are so connected today for the survival!! Good question by the way!!

  Jul 15 2012: You are welcome, Any time!

  Jul 15 2012: Indeed Mr. Anjorin, But don't you think the guys like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs (Late) they started when the things were much easier around them! And now things are very difficult, We are going through recessions, the economies are collapsing (i.e Greece, Spain). I have my personal experience that even if you have some Ideas companies want you to sell ideas to them. Because they don't want competition any more!

  Jul 15 2012: "I'm agree with you" means in a different way and pretty much related to your question.. :) It correctly pronounced as "I agree with you". Peace!
