Let me correct this: "Web startups come out of USA"
There's very little reality-check in that. Scandinavia/Sweden and other countries were early with both internet infrastructure, "home computers", "startups" (which it wasn't called back then of course), and hackers (in fact in the early days most hacked servers was done by Swedes). The 2nd node of the first version of worldwide Internet was Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.
Your theory on "early adopters" seems to be true though. Scandinavias are cosnider to be so modern (early-adopting) that it forgets its old culture - which itself is a loss, kind of loose our identity. Early adopting has drawbacks that is, and I say that even though I'm an early adopter myself - I love new technology, but see a bit of sadness on the tracks of it. I guess we can't have everything.
