Why not Help Everybody?


Sometimes when I have nothing to do, I start thinking about different things. Most of times I like to think and reflect how persons just dont care about the others. It is just difficult for me imagine how people in the other side of the world would give everything for a simple glass of water while here in México or the USA you can go anywhere and find fountains or see people washing their cars with a lot of water. Also something that bothers me a lot is how technology evolves. I hate that technology is used by the big companies as another way to take us our money. If they really wanted to change our lives and make them easier as their advertisements explain, they would go with the kid in the Congo or the woman in South Sudan and create an invention to help the kid never run out of food and something else so the woman can defend herself when her husband hits her because it is part of their tradition. That would be amazing but it makes more sense creating an invention that costs a lot and few people can afford than helping the kid or the woman who will not give you money. I have analyzed several great car industries. The one that kept my attention was Ford. The owner, Henry Ford had so much success with Model T  beacues he made a powerful car that anyone can afford. Ford Slogan for Model T was, "This car will be so los in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one." I think every company should follow this ideal of putting technology at everyone´s hands. I am going to leave an interesting fact around here to show how stupid we are. Anywhere you look at any city of the world, you will find thousands of telephone or internet wires. Years ago a great scientific named Nikola Tesla discovered lots of thing that are used nowadays. He was the first person to identify and be able to control the X Rays that are use to see  if our bones are broken, the first one to identify the plasma which is now the 4th state of matter and the most important, the first person to create a wireless electric power transmission. Yes it is true, before the telephone or the radio or the TV  or the internet was created, Tesla discovered a way to make information go from one place to another. His project was so ambicious that several companies, included the Edison Company invested on him. Tesla and his team constructed a big laboratory on Colorado Springs that had the power to transmit radio frequency from one side of the world to another. When the project was finished,  he did not sell his patent to the companies, what he wanted to do was to bring that technology he invented to every citizen of the world. This of course was not possible because the big companies that invested on him closed up the business. They gave the patent to Edison who not only stole the idea but made it really bad. We could live in wireless cities but big companies can make more money giving the people something bad and letting them spend a lot of money for a long time and after, give them the invention that is the good one.
