Of the top of my head I can't remember a single big online thing targeting consumers that Germany does. The US has google, facebook, twitter etc, so rather than say Germany has figured out how to do tech in a small town, I would rather think it is accurate for Germany not to have figured out the tech at all. I know they make cars with electronics in them, but honestly I haven't seen a car with electronics that fundamentally changed how most people approached anything (Cruise Control is nice; self-driving would be a fundamental game changer), Apple and Google have done so in my life time.
