how come those "industry and technology" companies are here in USA? IBM, NASA, APPLE, MICROSOFT, GOOGLE, YAHOO.. i mean, the list is literally endless. of course.. DEFENCE.
institutes around the world have a lot of catching up to do. Dont compare the best of your universities to ours (most of the top positions coming in from India/China etc come from top univs). Compare the "average" to "average". Then am sure the difference will be enough for you to understand what I am saying.
.
you seem to be jumping to several fallacious conclusions all at once....
let me attempt to correct a few of them....
1.) the companies you mentioned are based in the U.S simply because they were developed from scratch about 4-5 decades before by americans.....its no coincidence that the concentration of wealth and the enormous amount of monetary investment in the U.S education system has yielded tremendous dividends.....
my issue is not with your exceptional facilities but with your contention that our
education system produces substandard scholars lacking in merit and capability......
2) besides what we lack in money we make up for ten times over in
skilled man power and human resource......with a buoyant economy resulting in us being able to preserve the best brains of our gen in the country ......the world would see our innovative prowess only too soon..... and here is a field not even the mighty U.S can catch up with us in.......
we want to get more indians because they are "cheap skilled labor" for the same reason why manufacturing went to china. not that they are exceptionally good at it (they are darn good.. but not . exceptional) but they are cheap. Makes economic sense.
All research insititutes are in India/China/HK to tap the low wages for the skilled scientist.
a red herring for sure......
no blue collar job can be equated to serious brain cell burning research sir......you could do all the manufacturing you wanted in the U.S itself abeit at a much higher wage....and so as you put it makes "economic sense"......
we offer something completely different.....all your technical workers draw a complete blank compared to Indians and their software,management and engineering knowladge ( blame your education system for a complete lack of interest in technical fields among your kids)
you do not export to us with your minds on cost but on capability......this is a field whether you choose to admit it or not is something we are EXCEPTIONALLY good at....
lastly : the brains are equal everywhere. The universities are better in USA simply because of the time and effort and money put into the "average" educational system. The average child (of USA) these days may not be as hardworking as the Indians are but that is because kids here are on "assured basic necessities". Give them a run for their money they wont stay far behind.
again. do not compare the top univs in your country. compare the average ones.
lets make better place of this forum and the world
Universities are better in the U.S solely in terms of infrastructure and facilities provided.....never in terms of the STUDENT FRATERNITY....which in my eyes is what really counts.....
regards the bold part ....at last something we seem to be agreeing on though I would like to point out that "The future" can be quite unpredictable.....our population growth and subsequently our competition rate seems to only intensify with every passing year while the so called "assurance" of basic necessities for american students appears to remain the same .........
hence only a die hard optimist would really hope for any american student to counter the razor sharp survival instincts of Indian ones in the fast paced academic life.....requires tremendous multitasking and adaptability ......regards........
