Thanks for the link. So a non-American invented the hybrid system and a non-American took that to the next level and mass produced it. I don’t see your point. You mentioned “Ford pioneered the personal automobile”. But they’re not the one who invented the automobile. They’re just the first to mass produce the automobile. I don’t see how that’s any different than Toyota/Honda taking what GM/Ford did to the next level? You need innovation to improve. Innovation is not only limit to inventing new products.
Saying because America is world-leaders from a technological standpoint the last 100 years doesn’t make it true that it’ll be a technological leader the next 100 years. Tell me who’s the technological leader 200 years ago?
There’s no argument from me that our university structure is superior to the typical Asian counter part, for now. Saying the university is great doesn’t back up your point though. Look at who’s enrolling in those universities in engineering majors.
