Britain vs. the US: Who's the tech giant?

Sometimes the Americans have a knack for taking over in other people's names, and if you believe the Hollywood movies, it was the United States that invented the cipher machine that changed the course of the Second World War (which was actually invented by the Germans). In fact, many of the technologies we think of as American are not, and many American inventions would not have been possible without the help of other countries. So who is the real giant? The United States, symbolizing the land of the future, or Great Britain, dominating the microwave field? It seems that the only way to determine the winner is through a duel. If computers were Charles Babbage's, they would be the only ones to win. If Charles Babbage had built the analyzing machine, Britain would have been the clear winner in this field. He designed the prototype of today's machine, the world's first programmable computer, in 1837. It wasn't until the 1930s, however, that his work became a reality, when Howard Aiken, of Harvard University, designed the first programmable computer. It wasn't until the 1930s, however, that his work became a reality, when Howard Aiken of Harvard University was inspired by Babbage's work, resulting in the Harvard Mark I. Also, without the British, computers would still only be able to do simple things. Alan Turing. Alan Turing, a Cambridge scholar, wrote an influential paper in 1936 on the use of computable numbers in determination problems, which laid the foundation for a general-purpose computing device. All things considered, it's a draw: the British were the architects, the Americans made it happen. The U.S. led the way in the field of personal computers. William Shockley William Shockley, the inventor of the transistor, founded the Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory in 1956, and a year later his staff left to found Fairchild Semiconductor. Fairchild and Texas Instruments were then what Intel and AMD are today; in fact, Robert Noyce, the founder of Fairchild, was the founder of the company. In fact, Robert Noyce, the founder of Fairchild, was also the founder of Intel. Intel invented the microprocessor and began selling it in 1971, so early 1970s hobbyists could happily assemble computers in their garages. The microcomputer wasn't invented in the U.S. The French company R2E developed the Micral, and a retail version was released in 1972, but promotion and popularization was achieved by the U.S. company MITS (Micro Instrumentation Telemetry System) through Altair, which led to the birth of hobbyist groups Home Brew Computer Altair led to the creation of the Homebrewers Club, a group of enthusiasts that included Steve Jobs and Steve Bennett. Altair led to the creation of the Homebrewers Club, which also boasts members like Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. The two Steve's went on to found Apple, a company that pioneered the consumer computing market. The field was eventually dominated by the PC operating system released by IBM in 1981 and its derivatives, and programming languages were mostly American inventions. Much of the software was also American; the first word processing program, Electric Pencil, was developed by American Michael Shrill. The first word processor, Electric Pencil, was developed by American Michael Shrayer, and the first spreadsheet, VisiCalc, was developed by Philadelphian Dan Bricklin. The first spreadsheet, VisiCalc, was created by Philadelphian Dan Bricklin, and the first commercial browser, Mosaic, came from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). Computer networks are an American invention, and George Stiblitz, the first commercial browser, was created by Philadelphia's Dan Bricklin. George Stiblitz spent six years (1940 to 1946) at Bell Labs developing the first machine to support multiple users and remote operation over telephone lines. The largest network, the Internet, is also largely an American invention, driven by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (hereafter DARPA). The first ARPANET link connected the University of California to the Stanford Research Institute, and this foundation became the core of the Internet. The Internet Communications Protocol, TCP/IP, was developed by Robert Kahn of DARPA. Robert Kahn of DARPA and Vint Cerf of Stanford University. Vint Cerf of Stanford University. The formation of interconnected networks from closed, separate networks was driven by the U.S. military and government agencies. However, without the World Wide Web, the Internet would probably have remained a tool for scientists and geeks, so the British Tim Berners-Lee was one of the first to turn the Internet into an Internet of ideas. Berners-Lee was the man who turned the Internet into something mundane. He brought about Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). Smartphones, iPods and peripherals The British invented the telephone , but the cellular telephone is an American invention. Mobile cellular telephony was conceived in 1947 by engineers at Bell Labs and became a reality in the 1960s through technology developed by AT&T Labs researchers Richard H Frenkiel and Joel S Engel. The iPhone is also credited to a Briton, Jonathan Ive. Jonathan Ive designed many Apple products, including the iPod. Virtually all digital music players are British inventions: British inventor Kane Kramer designed the iPod in 1979, and the iPod is a British invention. British inventor Kane Kramer patented his digital audio player in 1979 and presented it to the public in 1986. The British invented the television (John Lodge? The British invented television (John Logie Baird created it in 1924). The British invented the television (John Logie Baird created the first working television system in 1924), and the Americans invented the computer monitor (Alan B. DuMont at DeForest, New Jersey). The American invention of the computer monitor (Allan B. DuMont's work at the De Forest Radio Company in New Jersey made the commercial CRT tube a reality) and the flat panel display (George Heilmeyer's invention of the first computer monitor). Heilmeyer, who was vice president of Texas Instruments in the 1980s, was also one of the inventors of the digital signal processor (DSP), which you can find in music players, cellular telephones, home entertainment devices, and medical appliances. Now it's time to reveal the answer to the question, who are the true giants of technology?
