The US has never contributed anything to worlwide technology. The only thing the US has done is taken what others create and invent and then turn it into a company to make profits at the expense of the minorities and poor.|||When did you receive your first concussion?
I'll have to save this question so the next time some Liberal claims they are educated I can show this to them! LOL!|||Simple answer, LAWYERS. I had a Syrian professor in Engineering School, he used to say that in Syria, whey he did his undergraduate and in Spain (where he completed his PhD) and other European countries there are (or were back then) 1 lawyer per 100 engineers and here in America there are 20 layers per 1 engineer. The lawsuits are stumping scientific progress. Scientists are afraid that anything they do would be taken to court, thus they leave the country or stay withing the guidelines. That is the same reason medical treatments are so expensive, doctors and hospitals have to pay ridiculous amounts of money to insurance companies because they keep getting sued.
I agree with john449. The question denotes a total failure of education.|||Culture. We tend to put people down for being "nerds". We alienate those with good minds.
They're building a fusion reactor in europe right now. They intend to harness the power of the sun by fusing atoms together instead of splitting them. It produces no nuclear fall out and produces much more energy than nuclear reactors. Speaking of nuclear reactors, several european countries use nuclear reactors to power most of their electricity.
However in America we condemn such technology through ignorance and strong prejudice.|||Uhmm...no.

Dude, your argument is epic failure.|||I know at this stage fact and reason are futile in any attempt to say anything positive about the US, but in the real world (the actual real world, not the one in your media-ingnited fantasies) the US is the world's leading developer and innovator of technology, including the Internet that you are using.|||Since I don't want to sit here typing all day I will give one example, The US is the only nation to have put a man on the moon, granted with help from German and Dutch scientist but lets not forget Robert Goddard (an American) that produced and flew the first liquid fueled rocket 15 years before Germany and from which Von Braun got a lot of his knowledge from.|||Yes, I suggest you go to Cuba and see fleets of cars from the '50s being held together with chewing gum and coat hangers. Or check out Google Earth, the night shot, and look for North Korea. You'll recognize it as the giant, blank spot where there are no lights. Great argument.|||I'd be able to answer this if you could substantiate your claim. The United States is always the innovator. We have invented:
Most modern military technology
Telephone
Lightbulb
Modern automotive technology
Supply chains
Computing technology
and more|||The U.S. has had more inventions than the rest of the world combined.
Like the Internet? Thank the U.S., like flying in airplanes, like the telephone, electric light, penicillin, cd players, etc etc etc|||No, actually the US has made the vast majority of technological breakthroughs in the last 150 years, and tried hard to stop other people from getting them.|||It's really simple... Our politicians are morons. They argue all day and get nothing done. (Both Democrats and Republicans alike)|||I suppose things like airplanes, atom bombs, and rockets that carry people to the moon all just invented themselves then.|||Government regulation removes the incentive to create new technology.
- Libertarian|||Which is why the United Sates has the most technologically advanced military in the world.|||What's with all the morons, idiots, trolls and drama queens today?|||OK Obama...you really need to put that crack pipe down and get rid of your BlackBerry. You're supposed to be running a country, not f'n around on Y!A!|||That's beyond ridiculous.|||Because of 8 years of Bush.|||Go to Cuba or North Korea if you don't like it you commie liberal!|||This question is just yet another example of our Govt run school system!|||too many hamburgers?|||I don't think this is true BUT we might get more out of you if we made you work in a sweat shop with no time off and little stimulation other than work.|||What?
The US created the Internet, you know that thing you're on right now|||People in America are stupid.
