Innovation or Hypocrisy??

 

I'm seeing a problem with these innovations. It's not that these boys didn't do a great job. In fact, with what they have, they did a far better job. They should be applauded. But, it's not going to help them overcome the reality of poverty. By addressing problems with ideas as these is very intriguing, makes young minds think, innovate, specialize and so on. 

My question is simple. Of the 23,149 people who liked this post, would you be using this on a daily basis? It can be seen to be used as an exception once or twice, but then it doesn't work. And, what's the excuse that these boys don't have proper toilet? Is that being questioned? That is being sidelined. Imagine what these kids could do if they aren't building toilets, and apply this brain to more challenging needs? 

The question of toilets, on the longer run has a viable solution i.e. from using ceramic materials, water connectivity, hygienic conditions, proper waste disposal, drainage options, etc. This requires proper infrastructure. Something which only certain areas of most tier-1 cities do. Not even the entire tier-1 city. So, why is that people don't ask for them?

And, these boys really wanted to build toilets? They had to, because they had no other choice. Applauding this is a shameful act on our collective selves. 

You expect yourselves to use clean and hygienic toilets, but this is fine for them. Why? Hypocrisy on a new dimension.
