Boss, ulisema “China and other tiger economies, including Japan” Quote-n-quote. Anyway, tuwache mambo ya tiger.

Innovation is defined as [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]“the application of better solutions that meet new requirements, unarticulated needs, or existing market needs”

So, by this definition, Japan and South Korea actually innovated by “imposing above average Quality Control measures” to their automobile and electronics industry.

It’s actually embarrassing that America invented the automobile but the best selling cars in America today are Hyundai, Toyota and Honda!

Detroit “the Motor City” is bankrupt and abandoned.

When we were growing up (nimechapa kiasi) the quality electronics were European brands like Phillips, Blaunkput, Grundig na Telefunken. Ziko wapi siku hizi???

Ata Japanese wame pitwa na wakati. Hakuna Sony, Panasonic, Sharp, Hitachi, JVC, Sharp, Sanyo…etc…Mambo ni Samsung, LG, Huawei, na kadhalika. Innovation boss!

Hii mambo ya kusema “we invented” sijui nini na nini 100 years ago imepitwa na wakati baba.

The only constant thing is change.

In all these, what approach is best suited for Kenya economic growth, Catch up growth or cutting edge ?
Lastly, why was there panic when America withdrawal it’s technologies from ZTE ?

Lastly, why was there panic when America withdrawal it’s technologies from ZTE ?

The approaches are;

1. First of all eliminate corruption!..No need to say more. Chukueni akina Anne Ngirita and shoot their heads off in public.

2. Improve management of the public sector. Government is too bloated and inefficient.

3. Attract investors to put up labour intensive industries to reduce mass employment and kick start industrialization. South Korea, Hong Kong na kadhalika started off with garment industry in the 1970s na sasa angalia wako wapi?? As people grow wealthier, value chain will go up, pole pole we shall start assembling cell phones, TVs, etc

4. Investment in infrastructure -no need to say more.

5. Investment in social services (i.e quality healthcare & education) - so that parents wafanye “kazi ya mkono” but the children become the next innovators in blockchain na AI.

To be honest, all these things are common sense.

This is the path that Europe followed in the 18th Century, USA ikafuata, alafu Japan, alafu the rest of Asia. The rest is history.

Lakini when people of power and influence ni the likes of William Ruto, Mike Sonko, Anne Ngirita na wengineo, you have a very, very long way to go!!!

Cool story bro, but the US patent office and UN WIPO beg to differ.

China Leads The U.S. In Patent Applications For Blockchain And Artificial Intelligence

The number of China’s blockchain and crypto patents has grown about five times since 2016 to just over 1,500.

China, thanks to its 1.37 billion residents, leads the world on a number of counts. The smartphone user population totaled 663 million last year, more than anywhere else, and its internet penetration stood at 751 million.

Now China ranks first in the world in the number of patent applications from two heavily watched, fast-growing areas of high tech: cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence, claims American startup ecosystem research organization Startup Genome in a 2018 report.

China wants to be the AI world leader by 2030, according to this Forbes report.
