China is good at copying technology and selling for cheaper or improving an already existing product, but real innovation, such as creating new technologies that create whole new indsutries still will be from americans.
This is exactly, to the letter, what America said about Japan, and it was completely wrong.
- theprodigy 16y agoWho invented the microprocessor? where did these industries get started software, personal computer, internet, airline, car, etc. Americans were the ones that created these industries and created new technologies, new needs, and new jobs. We are wealthier that other countries not just because of WWII, but because of innovation and our ability to create new industries that creates jobs and wealth. IE, personal computers create so many jobs that no one would have thought would have existed 80 years ago. Americans are the ones that are the forerunners of innovation. We've have created so much.
- seldo 16y agoAs it happens, the Intel 4004, the first microprocessor, was co-designed by Intel and Busicom, a Japanese company. Busicom owned the rights. Other Japanese inventions include: - pocket calculators - CDs - the Walkman - Camcorders - Blue lasers - Glass integrated circuits - Flash memory - The floppy disk - Flat panel displays - LCDs - Plasma screens I think they're doing okay.
