Techies And Britain
The Reality
Britain believes itself to be driven by technology companies. The first thing to say is that we are no longer an industrial powerhouse. We do not have the big employers, but more smaller entities. We tend to do the blue sky development, but often get no further. That is the reality of business today.
The ideas should stem from the universities. Unfortunately, many have lost their way. The research tends to be over 10 years behind the curve, with the belief they are not. Having worked in both, I can say after 12 years in a uni, it had not caught up with where business output was in their R&D departments. Those who know me will know I have a firm belief that the university system is broken. Is it fixable, who knows.
Techies and Scientists need to be given more respect for tech to really survive
