Q: As we become more of a knowledge economy, is it possible that we will increasingly subsist on ideas and genuinely innovative game-changers like Twitter and Facebook? A: No. How often can we produce a Bill Gates? We are 3 million Singaporeans. The Chinese are 1.3 billion and yet they are not as innovative as the Americans. India too. Why? America had high quality people migrating there beginning with the Pilgrim Fathers, then followed by other people at the top end.
