In search of problems that nobody has ever had ?!?!? Have you ever drank beer before - LOL The Western world is all about inventing things for each and every possible need. (they we will invent things for all the solutions).
This reminds me of a story I once heard. The US government / NASA spends thousands & thousands of dollars inventing a ball point pen that will work in outer space. The Russians use a pencil. (now just before you raise your eyebrow and start patting the simple, straight forward, common sense of the Russians on the proverbial back) The difference between the two approaches is that the Americans are able to turn around and sell a ball point pen, that nobody needs, that will cost a small fortune, that can function in outer space. They probably made 10x more money than they invested in development. The sheer pioneering and marketing ability of the US is something to behold. Canada probably invented the wood for the Russian pencil, but never got around to the center lead feature - too busy making beer accessories.
