U.S. falls behind technologically
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The United States, which a decade ago had a commanding lead in high technology, is now losing to foreign competitors in a number of fields considered crucial to the country's economic future and to national security, a group of executives said yesterday.
The Council on Competitiveness, a nonprofit organization made up of top leaders in business, education and labor, reviewed the U.S. position in 94 technologies judged to be critical over the next decade.
It said that in about two-thirds of the critical technologies, the United States was still either the world most competitive with the best in the world.
But in one third of them, the council said U.S. companies were so far behind that they either were no longer a factor in market or works
were judged to be so weak that they were expected to fail, hopelessly to succeed.
The council said this was a disturbing turnabout from a decade ago, when the United States would have been judged to be the leader in virtually all of the 94 technologies surveyed.
Among the technologies placed in the lost column were silicon production and the sophisticated robots used in factory automation.
Also listed in the lost category were two technologies — display materials and computer memory chips — considered vital for development of high definition television. Companies in the United States, Japan and Europe have already started building this dollar market by developing the next generation of televisions.
---
The council said the United States should not be lulled into complacency
"America's performance in the gulf should not be interpreted as a sign of unassailable U.S. technological strength," said George Fisher, the chairperson of the council and the chief executive officer of Motorola Inc. "We are losing leadership in too many areas of high technology."
by the success of U.S. weapons in the Persian Gulf War, noting that many were developed in the 1960s and 1970s, when the United States still enjoyed a commanding lead in high technology.
The report, which took two years to prepare, said that U.S. owned consumer electronics companies practically had been eliminated by foreign competition, while the U.S. share of the machine tool industry had slipped from 50 percent of the world market to 10 percent, and the once-dominant industry was now a distant second to the Japanese on world markets.
said.
"Even such American success stories as chemicals, computers and aerospace have foreign competitors close on their beels," the council
The report found that of 17 critical technologies identified in the field of electronic components, U.S. companies were ranked as weak or losing in only two - microprocessors and magnetic information storage.
The report did list some success stories, most notably in the information field, where U.S. companies were judged to be strong or competitive in technologyologies listed, ranging from data retrieval to artificial intelligence
The council's report, "Gaining New Ground: Technology Priorities for America's Future," made several recommendations to the Bush administration, industry and universities to recapture the technology lead.
"Pioneering research and Nobel prizes are not enough," the council said. "Unless ideas can be pushed, palletized from the laboratory to the market, they would have standard of living and, ultimately, national security will be at risk."
