Los Estados Unidos son los líderes indiscutidos en tecnología, pero ¿lo seguirán siendo por mucho tiempo? Y si la respuesta es negativa, ¿quién ocupará su lugar?

No other country can duplicate the American environment of tech creativity, which arises from a unique stew of entrepreneurs, academics, engineers, imaginative marketers and savvy financiers packed together in an atmosphere of risk-taking and plentiful capital. There is nowhere outside the United States remotely like the three places where this formula is most clearly at work - Silicon Valley of course, plus Austin and Boston.

But while Silicon Valley retains its unrivaled vitality, the rest of the world is now paying close attention and is never far behind. Every innovation is mimicked elsewhere. For instance, there is a German clone of Facebook, called StudiVZ.
