HAVE a think about this for a moment…
The world’s three most influential computing corporations are all from the United States of America – Microsoft, IBM and Apple. All three changed and continue to change the way we use computers.
Then there’s the other players – Adobe, AMD, Cisco, Dell, eBay, Electronic Arts, Google, Intel, Nvidia, Sun Microsystems and Yahoo to name just a few. They’re all from the United States, and they’re all incredibly influential throughout the history of computing and the internet.
So in short the USA brought us revolution after revolution in computing, and still does to this day. MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, they’re all American.
With the Chinese and Indians making serious advances in software engineering and hardware design, it’s only a matter of time until the Next Big Thing comes out of either country. Many of the American revolutions in hardware and software occurred in California, a state of just 33.8 million people. Now imagine what a combined population of 2.5 billion people could conjure up.
It’s going to be a glorious future for technology.
