Wow! Argentina discovered that substances in the impotence drug Viagra can also treat sleeping disorders! I never knew that! I guess people who need to get sleep desperately can take viagara. Well it looks like women need to take that, too... besides old men and not sexually active men.... *ew*.
They found this... uh... amazing dicovery (i think you can call it that, I guess) in May of 2007. It was published in the U.S. journal "Procedings of the National Academy of Science". They said that the main compound (which I don't know what it is) can help people with slepping disorders.
In Argentina, which designates fewer resources for science and technology than its neighbour, there were four patents per million people in that same period -- the highest rate in Latin America. Mexico had the same yearly rate as Brazil of one patent per million inhabitants.(got from the internet)
The from 0.3 percent GDP in 2003 to 0.6 percent in 2006, and the goal is to reach one percent of GDP by 2010. Argentine Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation was created in December. (ditto)
Pretty much, Argentina's technology is improving.

argentina
Before their was Argentineans, their lived two groups called Diaguita and Guarani. They both constituted the origins of permanent agricultural civilization in Argentina. What they developed was the cultivation of maize. Also, they were powerful enough to stops the Inca from expanding their empire into what is now Bolivia, which was before Argentina.
The first Spaniard that landed in Argentina was Juan de Solis, which he was killed in 1516 because the natives of Argentina wanted no one else to discover Bueno Aires, which is now the capital of Argentina. To me it's sort of stupid, but yet smart because they probably knew that Spain or some other U.K. country was going to take over Argentina. But they should have just bribed them or scare them.
Eventually, their military success, diseases from Europe weakened them. Even though Spain neglected Argentina, Spain wanted Lima and the riches of Peru. The capital, Bueno Aires, was forbidden to trade with other foreign countries, they began to smuggle stuff.
In 1806 and 1807, the British attacked Buenos Aries, since Spain became under control of Napoleonic France. But later on, France kidnapped Spain's king, King Ferdinand VII. So Spain didn't rule over Argentina anymore.
But the natives didn't want the French to take over and was glad that they captured the king, for some reason. By 1816, a party of separatists wanted to declare Independence.
