Yesterday the US tech sector created all those things that you now take 
for granted.  Cell phones, cars that talk, GPS, PCs, the internet, call 
waiting, DSL, microwave ovens, TiVo, the list is endless.  Today that is 
all gone.  Engineers (like me) built it and then now business and 
political types have tossed us out with the trash!

What new technology have you seen created in the last 3 years?  How many 
new innovations have come from India?  Japan has never created anything 
new, they just refined what we invented!!

Some 35+ years of technical advancement is being ignored in the name of 
profits.  So tell me, where is the next new advance in technology coming 
from?  Offshore?  I don't think so!!!
