Interesting, I hope they are truly referring to the innovation in a true sense of a world class innovation worth Silicon Valley's consideration so we are not using a double standard for commendable innovation.

Yeah, me too. Although I think I'm a little more liberal than you are in the belief that almost anything you can think of is already being designed or prototyped somewhere in the world where there are lots of computers. So I am just as happy to see an innovative implementation or derivation of an imported concept or solution.

I agree with you, I too I am glad to see some progress but when the press hyped it up, I get worried when they are doing that because it's coming from Africa as if it such a big surprise.
