Gosh...Let us see...
The reason why the microwave oven is the superior example over the MIG fighters regarding the exploitation of technology is because the microwave oven DIRECTLY benefits the most people. Time and time again, defectors from the communist bloc were more impressed with the Western supermarkets than with the Western war machines. Victor Belenko did not defect -- with his MIG -- so that he can tour US Air Forces bases. He defected because he wanted political freedoms and good chow.
And nothing came out of it -- for the people.Gosh ...The Soviet Union did the following:-
First satellite in space
And then fell far behind.First man in space
First women in space
First space station
The final and STILL best goal for technology is to benefit the people. Not one segment of the people such as the military.The Kalashnikov
Rocket propel rocket
All those MIG fighters
They still make the best rocket engines
Even Nazi Germany
V1 bombs then V2 rockets
First jet fighter
The volkwagon
Tiger tank
Then it looks like you did not do a lot of thinking with that mind.That's just off my mind.
Done and over. When you have to go back past 200 yrs, you have nothing to contribute to modern time.Not to mention all those Chinese inventions under Imperial rule.
Gunpower, Fireworks, Silk, rockets, roof tiles, cross-bows, grenade. The Junk itself has numerous innovation by itself.
See poor examples above.Dictatorship also create innovation.
Considering the West regularly outpaces dictatorships in technology, who are the more incompetent?But it is true that the Western multi party democracy has reached it's level of incompetence.
