The answer is really very simple—because of
the advanced infrastructure in the USA. Why
do you think it’s called the land of opportunity?
The country is blessed with geographical
advantage and historical richness, which always provides it with ample of
opportunities in every sector to lead. Even a century back it was well ahead of
other countries. And even today, including in the tech industry, it’s ahead.
Take any top company, for example, Facebook, Google, Uber, Amazon and what
not—they are all based in the USA. One
reason is that innovation is encouraged
there. Individual’s unique ideas are provided with immense support from the
society and government, which help them grow.
Do you think the idea for an app like Uber
would have sustained in countries like India a few
years back? India lacked the kind of internet facility that this app requires,
there was less smartphone access. People
were skeptical to tech advances.
Innovation only survives where they are
supported.
In the USA,
internet connection was good. More number of people used smartphones. They
were educated to know about the benefits of technology. So when they saw an app
like Uber that made their lives easier, they embraced it with open arms.
