It explains why Huawei has now replaced America as the new world leader in advanced telecommunications. EVen the Bell Labs where so much of this wsa once done is now owned by Nokia.
Research in the 80s, 90s, and 2000 that would have been creating products today was stifled back then by cost concerns. By the same thought processes that also killed seven Challenger astronauts.
We are watching this problem getting worse since so many Americans are only educated in cost controls instead of how to learn facts and how the world really works. Slowly things that once made America great are being driven overseas by extremists who know only from their feelings - who do not know how to think - who ironically also love Trump lies.
It never ceases to amaze that so many foolishly believe a blackout will damage electronics - now that emotions and observation replace knowledge.
We know the future for today's kids is quantum physics. But that is too hard - it cost too much (originally $8 billion). So even that technology must go overseas where people better understand what is necessary to know something.
Everyone was taught fundamental concepts such as a hypothesis and experimental evidence. With greater frequency and instead, knowledge is now proven only by observation, emotion (Jenny McCarthy), talk show hosts, and insults.
Inability to think logically is why Saddam had WMDs, why a defense budget is now two thirds of the American expenditures due tp wars that will never end, why the national debt has now exceed (for the first time) the debt in WWII, and why so many did not even learn from Vietnam.
So many do not even understand why global warming is happening. Put $30 of gasoline in a car. How much actually moves that car. Maybe $4. Rest is wasted as heat, noise, and pollution. Already many eyes have just glazed over due to numbers. Numbers are hard because 'Barbie' said so. So the emotional would rather ignore it.
Junk science reasoning explains all those symptoms.
