Gee...I guess we will have to invent more shit and lead the world into the next generation of inovation again...darn.

And just who's going to do this, I wonder? All the American graduates of computer science and engineering programs across the country? Let me know if you can find any.

Good point. In fact, an excellent point. At the undergraduate level, you'll find some Americans.

At the Masters level, Americans become a minority in the classes. Let me be very clear - American citizens are a numeric minority in graduate level University courses in computer science, engineering, and other hard sciences.

It gets worse at the doctoral level.

But that isn't the really bad news. China and India are turning out 300,000 engineers per year each to our 50,000. (This is at the undergraduate level).

So...are our engineers 6 times smarter, more creative, and better than one of theirs? 'cause if we're going to have more innovations than they, that's what we've got to do.

Did I mention that the average Chinese gets 10 days off per year? That's total - including holidays, vacations, weekends, everything.

Now, which country shall we suppose will have more innovations?
