Recently, whenever I have read anything in the news about Samsung, it was usually about the newest patent lawsuit between Apple and them. It is refreshing to read an article about two companies who are trying to work together, especially when one of them is Samsung. I am very excited by the prospect of Samsung and Google working together to improve their products. I do believe in competition and fighting to protect one's investments, however, I also believe that for the most part, more can be gained from cooperation. When I read about the Samsung/Apple disputes, I get the image in my mind of two children fighting over toys. They focus all their energy on deciding who gets to play with what, so much so, that no playing actually happens. Whereas when the children share, they can actually enjoy the toys and be more effective with their time. They can use their imaginations and come up with new and better ways to use the toys. In the same way, I believe that Samsung and Google will be more innovative and will be able to produce better products for the world, which should ultimately be the main goal for any company.
