New Ideas

I stumbled across this on youtube the other day and it seems quite interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKwTurQgiak In class we were discussing new technologies and products that come out to benefit the public and weren’t just in the plans of big business. Microsoft is of course a big business, but this seems like an idea that is solely designed to enrich and benefit people’s lives instead of just earning a bunch of money. It fascinates me that there are so many unique useful ideas out there that never get seen or used by the public. Is this because big business controls a lot of the advertising and ideas that get released to the public or are people just afraid to try new products? It seems that the public doesn’t always get the best thing offered to them due to it being too expensive or too risky for big business to venture out on, is this something that anyone else has experienced?
