President Obama, the Stem Cell, and the Price Tag of Redirecting America's Direction of Reforms

When we think back on the progress that President Obama has achieved, we will realise that America, the huge America has a momentum of it's own that once moving in a certain direction cannot be easily manoeuvred without great cost.  Just shifting America's direction of technological focus ever so slightly can cost billions.

In the late 1960's, America had the Thaliomide crisis which resulted from a company good at one technology, that of manufacture, trying to break into a market where another technology, that of detecting issues with drug use, came unstuck along with much of the US pharmaceutical industry.

We encouraged companies to engage in more basic research and found them wanting.  Very few major drug innovation came along after the 1960's.  The era of miracle drugs had passed and firms concentrated more on marketing and minor improvements and copy catting.  We are still in the doldrums.

When law and drug innovation intersect, we find that it is easier to forego the real sacrifice that true innovation requires.  Thus don't expect a revolution to come from stem cell research.  There are too many alternative less risky avenues that the drug companies can pursue and bad laws give them every excuse to stay with the status quo while racking up billions in profits just marketing me too or little risk products with dubious benefits.  Patents will be filed, but little innovation will come from American firms.  They are risk averse because the laws and judges encourage laziness.  

We, in turn, feel protected by the 'do nothing much' evolution of the industry for even though the profits to the drug companies are much too high and they spend far too much marketing  surpriseless products, we have our own solution.        

What we do is take all the risks ourselves experimenting with all the herbs and religious notions, and quantum magical solutions to what ails us medically.  We pass new laws to prohibit bad chemistry and we feel great comfort in slowing things down.  Well, things are evolving too fast aren't they.  So let's us take the risks, grandmother's way, use voodoo and yoga.  We will find the miracle approaches on our own.  We don't need innovative drug companies and doctors, heaven forbid, to tell us the way.

The Evolving Internet

When we think of the internet, we increasingly wonder how we survived without it.  Just deprive yourself of access for a week or more and you notice how much you have become emotionally attached.  The links of the Internet are like a family, a social grouping by which we can order our lives, feel good about ourselves, and participate meaningfully in a world that is evolving rapidly, perhaps too rapidly.  

We use the Internet to change ourselves emotionally.  Seeing images, communicating, actualising our talents for speech, art, writing, and gaming.  There is so much that the Internet provides that we assume that we are still detached.  

Occasionally, we may think of the Borg community of Star Trek, and for a moment realise that the Internet is evolving in the intensity as well as variety of personal experience that it generates and transfers.  

The Internet is more than exchange.  It is a medium of influence through which those groups who have influenced our thinking in the past will want to influence our thinking in the future.  Thus it is that that the Internet presents us with many challenges.

One has to be concerned for future youth and the degree to which the sense of emotional well being is influenced by the new Internet media.  Through one instrument so much in our lives can be defined.  It surprises us when another less attached to the Internet points out that we have that particular instrument of our choosing with us all the time and constantly use it, whether an iPhone, PC, iPad, or some other smart device.  It's a fact that parents see their children with an interactive toy as much now as with television.  

Combine the two and you see what remains dwindle.  Each individual links into their own worlds except that rather than being inside our heads these worlds are an extension of our realities.
