The idea behind leapfrogging is that if you are a person, or a country, who is stuck in a situation where you don't have the tools and technologies that you need, there's no reason for you to invest in last generation's technologies.
Ideja preskakanja koraka znači da ako ste osoba ili zemlja koja je zaglavila u situaciji u kojoj nemate alate i tehnologije koje trebate, nema razloga da investirate u tehnologije prošle generacije.
