Hi, I'm extremely insulted by your implication that it takes unskilled people to work in a shoe factory.
Wrong. And even if it was right, just look at the majority of what kind of 'technology' both of these countries boast: American.
Again, wrong. As with 99.9% of statistics spewed forth by forum posters, yours was made up on the spot with no factual information backing it. Check out the real statistics , as reported by the CIA and other sources. South Korea only has ~2.7% higher internet usage per capita than the United States. Both of which are hovering around 65% of total population (where on Earth did you get your 30% figure?). As far as broadband usage goes, ~50% of Americans have broadband. About ~60% of Koreans have broadband, however, this is largely due to the population density in Korea. They provide all this connectivity with just 13,760 miles of fiber optic cabling throughout the entire country. By comparison, Verizon laid over 20,000 miles of fiber optic cabling in West Virginia alone.
Wrong. Last I checked, Martin Cooper, Rudy Krolopp, and John Mitchell were all Americans.
The same could be said about you throwing around your anti-American ignorance.
