apple pie girl asked:
In several areas of technology and innovation, the USA and Japan (and to some extent, Germany and Sweden too) are far ahead than the rest of the world. And we never hear about any technological invention come out of the UK or Australia or Canada or France or China.
How come USA and Japan are far more technologically advanced than the other developed nations in the world?

George C added these pithy words on Apr 29 08 at 7:44 amDid you ever hear of the telephone? Alexander Grahm Bell received the credit for it. His home was Brantford, Ontario. The blackberry is another device that was not invented in the USA, Japan or Germany. I’d do a little more research about where the patents and the innovations originated from before I’d claim superiority. Are you sure that the USA and Japan are that technologically advanced? Have you looked at Ireland lately?
