Comprehension:
Read the passage carefully and answer the questions from 11 to 15.
Smart phones have grown in popularity over the last few years, and applications, or content, rest at the heart of this growth. Content has become more important than hardware and the quality of content is determined by creativity. Creativity emerges as seemingly disparate areas, such as education, industry, and culture. As a result, convergence of virtually all areas is receiving the spotlight today. Convergence must also take place in the area of policy-making. Breaking down the walls between education and science and technology(S & T) universities and businesses and research and education, and convergence of these areas will bring about synergy and perhaps yield unexpected creative results. When education and S & T merge, one plus one can result in something greater than two. Convergence can take many forms; providing an education that develops divergent thinking and encourages creativity in students at an early age; developing human talents required by business by breaking down the barriers between universities and businesses, and sharing the assets of government funded research institutes with university students. These merges form the platforms for human creativity. A nation can only become a world leader in S & T when its scientists are cultivated and allowed to research to their heart’s content.
