Before one make up his or her mind to create something or invent, something they know what the purpose should be. There are always two side to Every story. And same implies to when someone is creating something innovative. Let me take for example, before I create any creativity, I have one thing out of two in mind basically, it can either favor me or favor the society, that is one, second, it can call Harm to me or to the society as well. These are things you look out for why creating anything at all either small or big. Now, most of the innovative and innovation are not just for one person, the mass get to make use of this knowledge and what creativity is brought to them.
Who is to be blamed? The fact that when I'm creating this particular innovation I have a different thing in mind and a different goal as all, body people who are perceiving it or utilizing it and using it in a wrong way and in a harmful way, am I supposed to be held responsible for this?
The question, should inventors be blamed when their inventions are used for purposes other than what they were designed for? Like I said earlier on, when are you innovate something and the purpose which I innovate it for is achieve but some persons or some people decide to utilize it or use it in a wrong, legally saying I'm not supposed to be her responsible, as far as I gave a notice and a clear purpose of creating or designing such innovation.
In most cases before you innovate something and get it to be accepted in the society, the purpose of creating such or designing sure, must be well stated. From the moment it is well stated and well accepted, by the legal authority and the society, for you to serve the purpose which you created it for, you become no more responsible for any further action or consequences that comes with misuse of the purpose.
For example, these day medication are designed for a purpose, such as tramadol, it have moved from drugs to weapon by some consumers. And other things, many times we see people repurposing things that could have been used for good to do bad. The perpetrators are not in the position to take a blame of a well define designed innovation rather the people who made use of this the other way round.
The reason why over 70% of innovation that were designed and not use for what they were meant for, is because the people who perceive these innovation or receive it, accept it with a different mindset from that of the designer. Which Make is difficult for you to who the designer or innovator responsible for the action of those who are utilizing his innovation.
When the pharmacist or a chemist produced a particular medicine or medication, it always come with the description, the purpose and the dosage, the pass through many processes and well approved the pass through many processes, before approval.
After all these are considered, the innovation is being accepted by the society and now put into use, it is not more the responsibility of the innovator to move from one place to another to ensure that people use or adhere to the instruction of the usage or the purpose.
Therefore the innovator mindset is always different from the consumers mindset.
