Once you have completed the required readings, please reflect upon, and craft a response to the following:

Discussion Question:

Does the patent system encourage or discourage technological innovation? What would happen if it were abolished? Can you think of an alternative that would better serve the needs of both inventors and the general public?

Please allow for sufficient time in reflecting upon these questions. Craft your response and provide narratives to support.

These discussions will begin the process of thinking and reflecting upon technology in both a critical and analytical manner. Begin to look beyond the ideas of good vs evil, right vs wrong, and begin to consider the construct and nature, the system and process, of technology. 

Once you have posted your response, please respond to at least 2 other classmates. Your response should include your personal reflection of their post, and your relevant thought and perceptions.
