LATE BREAKING NEWS - 80% of Zogby pollers are idiots!

WHERE WILL THE NEXT BILL GATES COME FROM? NOT THE UNITED STATES, MOST AMERICANS SAY ACCORDING TO NEW POLL

WASHINGTON, DC, Dec. 19, 2006 – Only one in five Americans believe that the "next Bill Gates" will come from the United States, according to a new telephone poll released today by Zogby International and 463 Communications.

The Zogby/463 Internet Attitudes poll found that practically half of all Americans (49 percent) believe that the next great technology leader will come from either China or Japan. Twenty-one percent believe that “next Bill Gates” will come from the United States while 13 percent believe he or she will come from India.

“The next Bill Gates has already been born, and time will tell what country is providing the environment of innovation, entrepreneurism and opportunity to enable him or her to flourish with the next great idea,” said 463 partner Tom Galvin.

So none of these tards that Zogby polls have ever heard of Amazon.com, Google, Yahoo or any of the other technology leaders of the 21st century???

The reason the US leads in technology development is because there's money to be made. What's the incentive for some Chinese guy to revolutionize our way of life? Japan, okay. But CHINA?????

What about Nokia (Finland)? Every swinging dick in Europe was dropping their home phone service and going cell by the late-nineties. By 2002, they were texting phone-phone and by internet proxies. Canada wasn't far behind.

Welcome to 2007. We're just now learning how to do this, but on Motorola phones. Good old Chinese Motorola phones.
