Future of U.S. Innovation

Recently, Fareed Zakaria provided a commentary on CNN about the future of U.S. innovation.  He is very concern and feels that the U.S. is slipping in its innovative ways.  What do you think?  Is the U.S. starting to lag behind other countries with regards to innovation?

You can see his commentary here.

Aida's Gravatar Prior to recession US is one of the most progressive country, having stable economy large foreign investment and being powerful , unfortunately because of recession the economy of US stumble and even the smallest sector had been affected. Hopefully, US could able to cope up with that falter. Prove to them that they can still bounce back and take lead for the economic growth and eventually innovate. Did you know that money and mental health walk together in steps, because when your income slows down it puts a strain on your mental health, which can make you a patient without money, leaving you in a situation that calls for two options: borrowing money or leaving your bills unpaid and going to collections.

Adriel's Gravatar <div>This country tends to reward greater treasures to those in the service oriented fields (Doctors, nurses, marketing professionals, great salesmen, financial, manager, real estate agent, etc.). And until we provide more incentives for people to innovate, we will fall behind.</div> <div> </div> <div>Why waste several years studying to innovate when you can get a quick  service field degree or push your way forward in the business world and get more money with less debt?</div>
