Three of these are designed and made by Chinese companies. Only the PocketBook is designed by a Swiss company.
Why has the West lost the ability to innovate?
No, creepy adtech from Silicon Valley is not useful innovation.
- not_math 5y agoAMD, Intel, Qualcomm, Nvidia and Apple are all American companies that are innovating in the CPU and GPU market designed in the US. Except maybe Samsung with their Exynos chip, who has better innovation in this sphere? Might have been a long time the west had real competition, but I personally feel they still have the upper hand in the innovation sector. Maybe not in the future, who knows.
- ComputerGuru 5y agoI think GP’s point was about revolutionary vs evolutionary tech.
- not_math 5y agoRight. Oculus Rift has been developed in the US, and seeing all the companies that have followed the trend of VR (Valve, Sony, HTC, HP), I guess this could be an example of a revolutionary tech. Tesla while not revolutionary (electric vehicles as an idea and some demo has been around for a long time) has been the first to democratized the vehicle to the masses. Now every car makers are making an electric model. That's revolutionary. A lot of example from China I'm seeing are good looking and impressing demo (Xiaomi Alpha Mix) but are impractical for general consumers.
