I do, yes. By unusual i mean statistically. Of course there are great innovative people everywhere, but it seems like the US managed to be exceptionnaly good at having the right combinination of top level university, venture capitalism, and market size, that enable groundbrealink technologies become successful commercialy.

I think it's your choice of word that's wrong. Silicon Valley obviously produces many more disruptive technologies than the rest of the world but that doesn't make it unusual to see something from another country disrupt. Silicon Valley is unusual in that everything is so concentrated allowing a high output. The rest of the world is NORMAL :) It's also important to remember a lot of the people doing great things in Silicon Valley aren't from the US.
