America asleep on the job

America is asleep on the job.
The job is moving into the 21st century. According to an international study called the Networked Readiness Index, the U.S. has fallen from first place to seventh. Here's the story.

My first reaction was, That's bogus. Americans invent most all the software and technology. Then I studied the criteria for the Networked Readiness Index.  The Index is about a nation's technological infrastructure. That is, how wired the society and all the people are, not a select elite.  Oh oh.  M.I.T. and Silicon Valley may be ahead, but American society is falling further behind. The U.S. is asleep on the job.
