Yes we have all seen so many videos and articles related to the KAUST, ad yes we all have seen many Mobile Cam’s ads when it first started. How did that end (what is the only use 4 it here), or let me ask how the rest of our univerties are doing (or do you think thier start was not just right). No comment.

You talk about the subject so romantically.I love that enthusiasm in your words. It seems to me the growing number of normal and natural ways of free thinking and creative juice flow methods are on the rise. You mentioned Google, now forget the whole big company for a while and imagine the simplicity of the idea; A search engine. type in anything and get everything! the creative powers of the leaders and originators of the idea will continue to flood the young peoples ideas till the last drop. They empower their creativity with tools to get ahead, not block. We on the other side of the world have to look at the bright side of things, we too are going and have started to live an extraordinary new life pattern.
Let me be frank with you, In order to see the movement of a country you need to see the larger scale models in the making, then trickle down the effect to where we are on a micro level. So to give you a rather grand example, King Abdallah new state of the art college, now thats a statement!
That should give you a general feel of the possibilities to new and improved creative minds to make us pass the coming exciting and rewarding times. Who said change was easy? only if you and your family lived on an isolated island in the middle of the ocean would you have a fast change strategy, actually it could also be hard, with family and all the little details.

So going back to the subject, in my opinion since there are people like you and me, total strangers tackling ideas like this, trust me there are thousands more out there doing there bit. Eventually what right is right and evolution is inevitable.

One of the main reasons behind Google success is their culture that encourages people and empowers freedom. Sure we all have heard about many companies earning or cost savings millions and billions from a simple worker suggestion .I wish if our institutions (companies , schools …) would implement effective suggestion programs that actually sees the light and is based on voting. Oh i wish if we would allow children to express themselves instead of suppressing them in our educational conrers.

I have seen resistance for anything new,,, and have seen how would people actually abuse suggestion programs. My only question, are we ready for innovation (can we accept new ideas, proposed changes, respect different views)? Why do we seem to abuse every invetnion (mobile camera, internet …)?
