Week 2: Daily: January 31st

You accidentally discover an invention that can immediately help millions of people; but only if you act immediately. On the other hand, if you just wait three months, you can secure a patent and get rich. Which do you choose and why?

Answer:

If I somehow discovered something that would help the world immediately but could make me rich in a little while later, I think I would wait and get a patent on my idea. The idea will still help people just as much as it would if it would immediately. If I got a patent on it, that means I would have more money, which could mean spending more with that discovery of mine. If I discovered a cure to a disease or a new language, I would wait and get a patent on it because you never know what goes through people’s heads, even if it does not seem logical, they will do it. If it means fame and fortune, humans will do anything for it. Without a patent, your ideas are open to anyone you allow into your life. With a seal on your side of the deal, you can now help the people in need or anything else without worrying if someone will take your ideas away from you and use them for their own benefit. To me, it is just as important to be securing with things as it is to help people or things in need. To me, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
