Lots of interesting questions and food for thought posited, but I'm picking on this one. Are there a lot of corporations out there who, when they take employee inventions and innovations developed on company time, treat the employee as prized inventors? I don't mean in stories, I mean like in our world. I feel like the CEOs and executives get that glory (Jobs spearheaded the iPhone! Where would we be without Gates and Windows?), but I couldn't tell you individuals at the companies who thought up GUIs or smartphones.
Maybe that's just a personal blindspot? But it feels more like a cultural thing.
