According to the World Economic Forum, the United States is no longer the technology king. The throne now goes to Denmark.
Below is the Networked Readiness Index Rankings for 2006:
- Denmark
- Sweden
- Singapore
- Finland
- Switzerland
- Netherlands
- US
- Iceland
- UK
- Norway
However, I did receive an interesting email on who is the real technology king. Ladies & gentlemen, the evidence is real tight. So tight that not a single technology expert dare refute it. Read on below:
After digging to a depth of 1,000 feet last year, Chinese scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1,000 years, and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network a thousand years ago.
Not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, Japanese scientists dug 2,000 feet and headlines in the Japanese papers read: “Japanese scientists have found traces of 2,000 year old optical fiber, and have concluded that our ancestors already had an advanced high-tech digital network a thousand years earlier than the Chinese.”
One week later, the Philippine newspapers reported the following: “After digging as deep as 5,000 feet, Filipino scientists from Bocaue have found absolutely nothing. They have concluded that 5,000 years ago, our ancestors were already using wireless technology.”
