There are so many spheres that prove that our life Now is better than 100 years ago: how knowledge and information is spread, how fast you can travel, I bet you know at least several dozens of people around the world. Food, clothes, entertainment -all of these things have changed and for the best. Bill is right, it's fair to share the perks of nowadays life with those who live like hundreds year ago. It's like going back in time when travelling to the poor regions. We can and should welcome people from underdeveloped countries to the World of Today.

Soviet Union had lots of drawbacks, no doubt, but they did a lot of good stuff like rope roads, railroad, undergrounds etc. It's cheaper to maintain the heritage than build something from scratch, why is it neglected?

Totally agree with you: when it comes to innovation, money gaining should not be the only goal, money is a means, and Ovshinsky proved it. Very positive and meaningful article.
