Almost any body who climbs the Mount Everest after the first person did it is also not doing anything original. Yet the difficulties in climbing Mt Everest don't change no matter how many people climb it.

The point is not to invent shoes to charge mobile phones. But to do something to break out opportunity famine, difficult economic situations and social inertia that prevents progress by doing things like this.

Like you mentioned 'Indian Crowd'. Bulk of the 'Indian Crowd' on forums like these probably don't even have the same scenarios or circumstances in life to understand why stuff like this matters to the other people to whom it matters.
