I didn't claim that Chinese invention is what we are currently using. I never said that and you are putting your words into my mouth. That is not nice. But what you are implying is that since we are not currently using the ancient Chinese invention, ancient Chinese invention must be off no significance. You probably think you are the only human beings who have ever existed.You appear not to grasp the FACT that its a magnetometer in an integrated IC which is used to point at the magnetic north by assessing its strength. It does not contain a magnetised piece of iron which you claim is the only current Chinese invention that we currently use amongst the billions of pieces of technology around me.
And then there is that loon PAKISTANFOREVER who predicts China will be ahead of the US in 10 years but cannot point at what Chinese science and tech he currently uses. I mean Chinese not copies or imitations or derivative tat
"T’sai Lun of China invented paper around 2000 years back. Historians believe that in 3500 B. C. Egyptians first discovered paper. It was made from a reedy plant papyrus which grew around river Nile in Egypt. It was from this plant only that the name paper was derived. "

In addition, Egyptian papyrus is significantly different from Chinese paper. Chinese paper making technology is a giant leap from papyrus, which depended on a specific plant and died when the plant died, while Chinese paper can be made from all types of plants, because of its invention on beating the plant fibers. That is why papyrus was only used in a small region while Chinese paper is now world-wide.
Your logic on papyrus vs paper is a very biased one. Using your logic, Gutenberg printing technique should be of no significant since Chinese invented a similar one long ago.
