A crash course in changing the world.
1st mission
Provide skills, not just finished technologies.
The current revolution in design for developing countries is the notion
of co-creation, of teaching the skills necessary to create the solution,
rather than simply providing the solution. By involving the community
throughout the design process, you can help equip people to innovate and
contribute to the evolution of the product. Furthermore, they acquire
the skills needed to create solutions to a much wider variety of
problems. They are empowered. - Ann Smith
Personally, I like this social innovation. As a young individual I believe that the youth are the hope of the future and thus we need to possess the skills necessary so that future will look much brighter. Developing countries rapid growth, thanks to investments coming from the foreign capitalists must be accompanied by education for the youth. Education empowers the mind of the unknown. It is because of education we are able to do stuff, learn new ideas, develop better things. The earnings from the investments of the foreigners goes back in their own countries and that starves the local people. Much of the developing countries suffer from poor education and so foreigners take the jobs that could have been posible for the locals to take only if they had the necessary skills to do the job. So therefore, it is better to invest money to provide all the equipments for us to use, time for us to grow, be patient for us to learn how to use and develop our talents so that we can stand up on our own and think better solution for our problems specific to our people. Not because its worth the money, but also because it will improve our daily lives.

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
