Miller defines invention as “the discovery of something new.” (Miller 262) For this I chose the Capital Bike share system in Washington. The bike was invented in 1817 by Baron Karl von Drais in Germany. The concept of a bike share is also very new and it only possible with modern technology. Washington DC is a tourist city where tourists would be hard pressed in using their cars for many destinations in the city. They often do not bring their own bikes so this fills void. DC is just generally a more pedestrian society where people walk most places. The bikes allow people to get to places a little bit more quickly as opposed to walking. This type of project would not work in a more rural or suburban area. As an example, in Greenville SC everyone owns a car and is always the primary mode of transportation. There are not that many urban areas where this type of project would be successful. Considering this chapter deals a lot with poverty, I would like to study whether or not people in poverty are ever able to actually use these and if they receive any benefit.

Miller defines social capital as “the intangible resources existing in social ties, trust, and cooperation.” This term was talked about within the context of development is poorer countries. Instead of large top down measures for development many agencies have used grassroots methods where work is done by small local groups. These local groups are more likely to have social capital among the local populace. This trust makes it easier for these groups to dispense aid to people who may be unwilling to deal with outsiders. An example of this is when the US army tried to develop parts of Afghanistan and the locals did not trust the improvements they made. As an example of social capital I chose a picture of a sweatshirt to represent the fraternity/sorority system as a group. These groups rely on social ties, trust, and cooperation to survive. The relationships between fraternities and sororities is necessary for them to cooperate in charity work such as profit shares. If I could do fieldwork I would like to study how effective grassroots development is and if it is better than top down methods.
