Answer 1

Countries in Asia make money from copying U.S. inventions.

The U.S. invented the internet, and all of the computer languages used to run the internet.

Americans invented most of the stuff in the world.

AMERICAN INVENTIONS:

Answer 2

This is really the best question I have come across in this section. And I have been actually seeing it and moving on without answering it because the question really is challenging and deserves a worthy response.

Let me try...

US has more clarity on Cyber Laws as of date than any other country. Internet Business Owners can actually "maim" and "disarm" cyber thiefs in USA and protect their own interests.

US has the highest number of multiple internet backbone - literally making it impossible for the sites to be down because of network failure.

Because the big boys are already there, the massive server farms are able to piggy-back-ride on each others' strengths and offer better facilities such as high levels of uptime, security, server space etc... and all that at a relatively lesser cost.

The social networking on the web is a very key factor and the "neighbors" do use it for each others' benefits.

Can't really think of anything more...

Again, great question... Congratulations!

Answer 3

I am only guessing but I believe it has something to do with the fact that America invented the Internet and more Americans were involved with personal computers in the beginning. (the lowest hanging fruit theory). Add to that the fact that the population of the U.S. is far greater so there is a larger talent pool. Then there is the simple fact that the American culture is the culture of the rugged individualist. It is very conducive to the individual entrepreneur. We embrace innovation and encourage individual acheivement more than probably any other country in the world.

.

Answer 4

Because Americans have a "Natural Advantage" (probably genetic) when it comes to doing business. We are better than everyone else in pretty much every other category. It shouldn't come as much of a surprise.

Answer 5
