                So that things should be clear and simple and invention as I just want to say that inventions are very much different from innovation
                I agree with you at some extent but not everyone is doing the same things there are some companies who are really inventing things..

                                    Apple is just gonna spin this older tech https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push-to-talk - and then everyone will believe Apple invented the walkie talkie, just like everyone now believes Apple invented the Pencil, the Phone, Music etc
