Yeah, seems the only country that can dream about challenging the US tech industry is China. But they'll have a hard time with reputational issues.
I mean, how long until a sizeable chunk (+30%) of western tech businesses, or even other major Asian economies, start choosing Aliyun over any of the five big US cloud providers?
I think safe to say not in the next 5 years. But who knows...
me neither.
my in-laws (90+) in Japan are excited about a new DoCoMo phone and always talks about the latest features. He is not an engineer. He is also not a rare case in that country (or that continent).
My own mother back in EU and most of my family are deeply ambivalent at best, or absolutely opposing new Tech / data-driven ideas.
Europe is like the polar opposite of Asia in that sense. The US is some kind of weird middle-ground. When I returned from Asia to EU after 10 years over there I had a reverse-culture shock that lasted at least 5 years. Everything looked backward and stagnant to me. As I get older I realize I'm also becoming very critical. But age can't explain the ambivalence otherwise Japan would be the most Technology hostile society in the world.
