As an American also living in Europe, I think this is a highly naive view. American media pushes American values, and American values are hardly equivalent to technological development itself.

Instead, I’d say we’re at the very beginning of a massive global backlash against American values propagated by technology. Expect it to continually ramp up as media-creation technology spreads. China is just the beginning.

The idea that American views are emebedded and spread in the very technology that America champions is itself the American view that is criticised.

>The technology itself gives rise to it

Do go on.

Sorry, can you clarify what you mean by the west coast American view of the world?
