COMPARISON OF

TECHNOLOGICAL
DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN
EASTERN AND WESTERN
COUNTRIES
 TECHNOLOGY

 Technology is the usage and knowledge of tools,

techniques, crafts, systems or methods of organization.
The word technology comes from the Greek technología (
τεχνολογία) — techno (τέχνη), an "art", "skill" or "craft"
and -logía (-λογία), the study of something, or the branch
of knowledge of a discipline.[1] The term can either be
applied generally or to specific areas: examples include
construction technology, medical technology, or
state-of-the-art



1993-2007 world technology competitiveness

The study’s indicators predict that China will soon pass the United States in the
critical ability to develop basic science and technology, turn those
developments into products and services – and then market them to the
world.

The 2007 statistics show China with a technological standing of 82.8,

compared to 76.1 for the United States, 66.8 for Germany and 66.0 for Japan.
Just 11 years ago, China’s score was only 22.5. The United States peaked in
1999 with a score of 95.4

“China has really changed the world economic landscape in technology,” said
Alan Porter, another study co-author and co-director of the Georgia Tech
Technology Policy and Assessment Center, which conducted the research.
“When you take China’s low-cost manufacturing and focus on technology,
then combine them with the increasing emphasis on research and
development, the result ultimately won’t leave much room for other countries
.”
 Recent statistics for the value of technology products exported – a key component of technological
standing – put China behind the United States by the amount of “a rounding error:” about $100
million. If that trend continues, Newman noted, China will shortly pass the United States in that
measure of technological leadership.

China’s emphasis on training scientists and engineers – who conduct the research needed to maintain
technological competitiveness – suggests it will continue to grow its ability to innovate. In the United
States, the training of scientists and engineers has lagged, and post-9/11 immigration barriers have
kept out international scholars who could help fill the gap.

China is becoming a leader in research and development, Porter noted. For instance, China now leads
the world in publications on nanotechnology, though U.S. papers still receive more citations.

China has been dramatically improving its input scores, which portends even stronger technological
competitiveness in the future.

“It’s like being 40 years old and playing basketball against a competitor who’s only 12 years old – but
is already at your height,” Newman said. “You are a little better right now and have more experience,
but you’re not going to squeeze much more performance out. The future clearly doesn’t look good
for the United States
