Once upon a time several centuries ago human beings had to live in conditions that modern people couldn’t even think acceptable. Just think of life without hot water-supply, electricity, your computer, Internet, Myspace or without lavatory pan. Can you imagine that? Can you? That’s not a reality of a vagrant. You have just dreamt about yourself in a kings’ palace of King Arthur.
Is it too long way to go for you? No problems.

Let’s go just a century behind. Now it’s the beginning of the 20th century. Just look though the upper list and think over how many positions are still not discovered.

Since the middle of the 19th century the technical progress has passed forward with huge steps. We live in a time of inventions. Every single day of your life people discover something that is urged to make your life more comfortable.

But have you ever thought how the invention appears? Well, nobody knows that properly. Some believe that is God’s affair. He loves us so much that He gives the ideas how to improve our life quality. Others believe that a feature of highly developed living matter. They say that we have developed ourselves for the level when we have to find out new circumstances that provide us with discoveries. Anyway all of them agree that the idea comes the first. And the development of this idea is an invention.

For now you should ask me in which connection I have started this article with James Bond?

Well, the idea is that very often the clue of a new discovery appears in one’s head and is being developed in the other’s one.

Just remember Jules Gabriel Verne and his bunch of fantastic ideas described in his novels. Most of that ideas are real now. One day Czech writer Karel Capek has used the word “robot” for the first time and now we have dosens of robots of different kind. And at last (wow, I’ve managed!) let us think of James Bond who has used numerous devices that were absolutely impossible for the time the book had been written. Now everybody could buy a spy earpiece device or find a pen that could sign a treaty and be used like a gun after that.

It is clear that the main two engines of the technical progress are business and government military sector. And in fact that two sectors are working together to find out the things you have used to. E.g. Internet has been discovered by militaries for their own needs. And after that it has fallen into business hands that allowed it to develop to its modern state.

So when you see a new spy device in Bond’s hands it is always a good idea to think a little where it could be used in civil life. Maybe you will be able to discover something that could be useful for many and bring you unbelievable profit.

“I have a dream…” that all of the readers shall dream of strange application of usual things…
