Last I looked my computer parts are made in China and Asia generally. Last I looked, the cable company did not belong to the US. Thanks to Jupiter, GFY is hosted on a US server - so, to that degree, I must be using "US technologies".
In reality - the US has nothing to offer - apart from arms and where the US is the main arms trader on the planet. I have little use for arms - but thanks
Suprising that people think the US has something awesome to offer - it doesn't. The US needs more resources from others than it could ever make and borrows to stupid levels in a hope of sustaining the unsustainable.
Economically, one of the major failings is that US manufacturing is a lump of mental on a scrap heap. Doubt it will ever happen, but there is one very serious need for a solid manufacturing base instead of living off the cheap labor of several other nations - who are, ironically, in a better financial situation than the US is.
Don't ever think all other nations rely on the US for much - they don't, but have their own manufacturing base and trade with the world while managing their own fiscal affairs. (Part of the reason for the weak currency exchange on the dollar.)
