Futuristic highways in the Netherlands glow in the dark

Makes me wish we didn't have all these execs trying to milk the old stuff as long as possible.

Majority of internet users still using copper and telephone line based DSL.

Cars still being sold under 20mpg.

Murica done lost its way since Reagan.

what's even sadder is most people have been duped into thinking all that shyt is cuttting edge.

This, it's also partly supply and demand.

In my small country (16 million people) the entire country notices at the same time when technology is getting stale so it's easy for companies to push new innovations on us because we're pretty much all on the same page.

In the US it might be that as long as they're making a profit they don't give a shyt. Their latest technology is produced in Asia (perhaps invented in the US still) and sold in Europe/Asia. Their old shyt will still sell in the Americas/Africa. It's win-win for them.
