++1...Completely agree... Well, I am not a futurist but surely there is some conviction in this(Even if I knew I would not share on this group.Too risky..)...
It is true that China is on its way to be the ring leader of the world..but my interest here is that last two lines.. Concepts do change with time and thus the effectiveness of a version gets affected and looses sheen too.You need changes... As I write a software for my project, the concepts that we used in college on AI and programming like waterfall model are redundant..You need agile methods, RAD,etc for better performance..How about automated tools for testing..More on the way I guess? The point is that improved versions of softwares that have been patented must be allowed to be patented again..By whom..Well,finders keepers & loosers weepers...
