My proposal for advancement of science and technology in a socialist country

[pranabjyoti]

Comrades,
At present it is a very rude fact that the capitalist-imperialist countries are ahead of countries, where workers and other pregressive forces have gained a significant ground. The technologies and the machines, that are now an unavlidable part of our daily life are most invented in the US and other capitalist-imperialist countries. REASON? In my opinion, the USA and other capitalist countries always have and still having a huge inflow of human resources from all over the world. English, as a language of imperialism, have penetrated a huge part of world and due to colonial legacies in the third world countries, the language of learning science and technology is still English. So, those who have the capability of contributing something new in science and technology from this countries, felt attracted towards USA and other capitalist countries and they will settle in USA and other capitalist countries at the very first chance.
But, this scenario can be changed with the help of internet. If you search the net, you can find some very mind blowing, revolutionary, scientific ideas which are left unattended. In my opinion, countries lile Cuba, Venzuela should have make a coalition to make an organization, which will search net for good ideas and would make necessary research and testing of the ideas. The materialization of these ideas can make great difference in the productive capability of the countries. I would like that to be done in this manner. An organization, made up of scientific and technical experts from both the universities and industries, men from the management staff of the state owned industries will first review the idea very carefully and will judge the scientic, technical and commercial feasibilty of the ideas. Those ideas, that will pass through the screening, will be sent to universities and technical institues for prototyping and testing. After it has been prototyped, tested thoroughly, it would be applied for a patent, where the patent owner would be the organiztion and the inventor together. By this process, both the state and individual inventor can be benefitted.
I don't thnk all inventors or people with good idea have "socialist" inclination and therefore they have to rewarded upto a level, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to attract them.
I like this process to be started as quickly as possible. On net, some good ideas attaracted me and I personally have contacted the persons, who came up with the ideas. But, found that already some entrepreneurs from the capitalist countries have contacted them. So, I don't think that the ideas on net would be left unattended for long. Those with good commercial potential should attract possible entrepreneurs.
I want to know opinion of other readers in this regard. There are so much hue and cry have been done regarding "what have been done so far". But, I think we should also look forward and have to have some positive thinking and ideas, that can benefit workers and the humanity in future.

Whilst I agree, there is a great deal of very detailed specifications for incredible things on the internet, this is by no means the only issue. "The West" as it were have sanctions imposed on many of these countries, and a huge monopoly on advanced technology and parts, making it much more difficult for people in these countries to develop such things. It's almost like starting completely from scratch, but with the blueprints.


I don't thnk all inventors or people with good idea have "socialist" inclination and therefore they have to rewarded upto a level, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to attract them.
So...pay them more than others, thus suggesting that their job is more important than others and defeating the point of Leftist ideas?
I don't understand how that fits in to a true Left Wing society, please explain more?

@Atrus,
Actually at present, the capitalist-imperialist countries have lost their abilities to develop new ideas and that's why so much good scientific stuff is left unattended in the internet for a long time. By paying the inventors means, giving them a share of the licensing amount. As long as there are capitalist and such countries available, the technology can be licensed to them and products can be sold in their market. Giving a share of the profit to the inventors would encourage them to come up and tie with countries having socialist inclination.
@ socialist
I want to inform you that with the technologicy level available in Cuba and Venezuela, good scientific and technical advancement can be achieved. Do you have any idea that with little addition and alteration, not a very high-tech matter, coal consumption by thermal power plants can be reduced to just 1/3rd. And by gradual development, a country can be advanced from a technologically backward phase to the advanced phase.

@Atrus
Just think of an example. A new technological idea, that can reduce the coal cosumption of thermal power plants to 1/3rd means Venezuela can reduce its coal consumption of its thermal power plants to 1/3rd of present level. That should be an economic achievement. Now, paying the inventor with a share of the money saved or earned, is that too impractical?
Another example, let's someone with an idea of producing fresh water from seawater come to us and the idea has been developed. This technology can be licensed to middle east and by rewarding the inventor with a share of the licensing amount, that would attract other inventors.
