incorrect, we are all capable of individual thought. We may have to stand on the shoulders of giants to do so but the thoughts are still our own.
The government or 'elite' that you speak of have nothing to do with invention, they are almost always created by regular people, just like the rest of us. That being said, the control you are speaking of is nothing more than a figment of your imagination.
If you regard control as leaders taxing us on these ideas and innovations than most of us would agree with you, but you are reaching when you take it any farther than that.
