    Do you know what explains why the Western have dominated within technology and manufacture for such a long time? Is it mainly because of the industry-revolution?
    Is this dominance fading away these days? I mean, do you think other Asian countries like China will be the new ruler of this technology and manufacture?

    Oof?
    What?
    Bs the West is dominant in Technology OR Manufacturing.

    China does the vast majority of manufacturing, or a number of other Eastern countries where labour is cheap. Turkey, Korea etc.
    Technology included, as Socsaint said, Japan is further in terms of breaking technology boundaries than the US or any other Western country/continent.

    Japan and Belgium are swell for technology. Education is also better in Europe and some eastern Asian countries than the West.

    Holy ------ing American Supremacy here.

    Not to mention, Magic forgot to write what steez/nica/jynx will bring in.

    Also, Broken is a wise person, listen to what he says or be destroyed by the wrath of Pokemon.

    Most consumer grade computer components are manufactured in Taiwan, and have their parts sourced from Japan and China.

    You probably just fell for the illusion that the West controls most technology, by the fact that everything's given English titles. GeForce, Radeon, Television, etc

    Israel do well for military hardware, but they don't really stand out as far as consumer grade stuff goes.

    The West has been playing "catch up" for a while now. The general public in the west doesn't see it that way though.
