So why is technology flat? Do you have to ask?

To be honest, I cannot see any of the three (or four) setting a clock without help from a 12-year-old. This does not bode well for technology, a sector that in other countries gets a lot of government support and attention.

In India, China and Japan as well as many European countries, the sector and the business in general are seen as an important element of prestige and prosperity. They see the light; we don't.

Blame Washington that tech will remain flat
