I guess its no surprise that another Sputnik has happened, shaming the US.
The US, which is "supposed" to be a technological powerhouse, gets shown up by China. China has been rapidly developing in the technological world, with 1 GLARING reason comming to mind: China does not have intellectual property laws.
To my surprise, we watched a TED lecture in my English class today(college). This lecture was on the origin of great ideas, and supports the notion that intelectual property stifles innovation.
