Unfortunate for them, they may get a pay cut from the millions they get

in schools or stuff like that.

But what if people still want to pay big $$$$ to see them hit a baseball long distances? Would you forbid or prevent that?



But yes. The inventor of the integrated circuit changed the life of
everybody on the Earth. The cardiac implants saving the life to thousands
would be an impossible without the microchip. But just try to make a pool
betwen the folks with an implant and ask them 2 questions:
1. Who invented the microchip to save their lives ?
2. Who play the winning ball in the World Cup they watched on TV who work
thanksfully to microchips ?

Stop the kid with iPod on the street and ask him 2 questions:
1. Who invented the intergated circuit making iPod possible ?
2. The name of singers in 3 of the bands he have on his iPod ?

Don't you think we live into a pretty perverted world ?
Our values are upside down, we pay respect where there is not much respect
to be paid and do not pay any to the real heroes.

No. People act according to their interests, no matter how silly or dumb they may be. It is called freedom where I come from.



1. Without looking up on the internet can you name the guy who came with the
idea of the integrated circuit ?

Kilby and Noyce. Everybody knows that. Neither had the money to capitalize the production machinery to produce their baby in large numbers. That is where Texas Instrument Inc. and Fairchild Packard came in. Of course you put no value at all on the ability to capitalize a productive enterprise. Right? Invention is sufficient. Right? Wrong. Without moneybag capitalists Noyce and Kliby's invention would have remained a curiosity.


2. Without looking up on the internet can you name a player from the last
game you watched ?
3. Think which one of them is more important for your life ?

#1. But I am not a baseball fan either. And what about people who live in the sticks and have nothing to do with computers? What do integrated circuits matter to the Kalihari bush people or the Jivaro tribesmen of the Amazon?
