cos our technology is planting of crops and rearing of animals for man's use |

ChokolateBoss:Honestly, whenever I look at China, I marvel at how determination can get you to where you want. Little wonder that most things are outsourced to them. Look at the effort of the government and the citizens in order to make it less dependent on foreign technologies. 11.) NetherlandsI guess most of their determination came after they saw what heavy reliance on natural resources can cause. Look up 'Dutch diseased economy'. 10.) SingaporeI swear that this country still makes me open my mouth in awe. Had their independence after Nigeria and have now advanced technologically better than Nigeria, all thanks to the founding father of the modern nation - Lee Kuan Yew (God bless him) who single handedly transformed the nation from third world to a first world nation. And to think it was together with Malaysia before being balkanized. One need to look at how they have advanced; their universities aren't left out as there was a thread here that showed what their students did with a 3D printer. 7.) FinlandTo think Nokia came from this country speaks volume. . . . 5.) GermanyAnother nation I so much have respect for. When you have people like Otto, Planck, Von Braun, Albert Einstein, Oppenheimer, Kepler, Gauss, Fraunhofer etc, how won't you be developed? These are men that have brought about theories, hypothesis, equations, tech and what not being used today. After being brought to its knees during the war, came back waxing stronger. 4.) IsraelOne only need to look at the iron dome (if I am not mistaken, the best air defense system) of this nation and marvel. 3.) South KoreaAfter how many years of war, this country came back strong. Well versed in shipping and ocean technology, telecommunications (Samsung), Hyundai, Kia etc. 1.) JapanMy love for this country knows no bound. Apart from technology, they are ruling the world right now with their mangas from Naruto to Bleach to Fairy tail to Tokyo Ghaul etc. (All manga fans, I hail oh... ) A nation that has developed a space probe that is to land on an asteroid and bring back a sample to earth (Hayabusa 2). You need to see the country to appreciate them (I hope to visit one day.. ) What can Nigeria learn from these nations? If according to history, we absorbed the Biafran Engineers, I believe we will not be where we are technologically. China believed in her 'fake' tech and look at where it has brought them. If we think our brothers down east are into the above, we only need to see the potential in it, invest, adhere to international best practices and watch the positive results we will get and how big the economy will grow. We need to put selfish interests aside like Lee Kuan Yew did and see ourselves as one thereby developing this nation. It is amazing that countries that we were better than previously have surpassed us. The world will not wait for us, we need to develop ourselves. we need to look past oil and invest more on STEM. No nation develops with a single commodity. From the proceeds we have gotten from oil, we need to invest in other sectors of the economy and grow it. The world is looking for cleaner sources of energy and honestly, oil will soon be useless. You only need to look up project ITER (I am hoping to start a thread on that) and see how the world is pursuing clean energy. Also look at the countries involved and the amount to be used; you will be shocked. We can not keep praying, expecting God to come down to help us advance technologically. He is busy attending to pressing matters in the cosmos. He has given us something valuable to use - the brain which is much more than the natural resources we have here; someone once said something and I quote - "More gold has been mined from the minds of men than from the earth's crust". I am surprised Japan is rated above USA. Notable mentions are Brazil, France, Italy, India, Sweden, Austria CC: Ishilove, Lalasticlala, Obinoscopy - this thread deserves front page. . . 1 Like |

@Feraz. Wow! That's a 5-star analysis u got there. Why are u surprised that Japan is rated above USA? With the kind of technologies coming from Japan, I'm suspecting they're being tutored by futuristic time-travelling shape-shifting aliens from 10,000A.D. (Just kidding about d alien part ) They're advancing in nanorobotics (which is an innovative technology on a frigging epic scale). Imagine intelligent robots smaller than the width of a human hair which can be injected into the body and controlled on a molecular level to alter the cells within d body. Imagine how treatment and cures will look like. U can be treated for the most deadly diseases/ailments or injuries within minutes. When that kinda tech comes to naija, many pastors don lose market be that . They're the first to succeed in developing true 3D display using laser plasma technology. With their device, 3D images can be created in mid-air without the use of a screen. They even promised a high tech marvel of said 3D display, in their final pitch to host the 2022 World Cup. They planned on paving 400 stadiums around the world with 3D flat screens to show life size matches thousands of miles away. In other words, its possible to watch live world cup matches from say, Abuja stadium. I'm not talking of watching it on big screens, I'm talking of seeing the players & ref, playing on the Abuja pitch as if they're actually there. The only difference is that the players in the actual WC venue will be real flesh & blood humans while those same players in the Abuja stadium will be 3D holograms. Wished they won the bid, instead of Qatar. There's also the ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) state-of-the-art radio telescope which can convert waves from a dying star into music. Then Nissan's autonomous drive car which can think and make decisions due to its artificial intelligence. Less accidents and traffic congestion. Abeg they deserve to come on top the US anytime anyday. As for what Nigeria will learn, hmmmmm....in my opinion, we will never learn. Not with the mentality of the average Nigerian on the street or those at the helm of affairs in govt. Our educational curriculum even makes it worse. |

ChokolateBoss:Thanks for the compliment. I think I agree with you about the alien part. . . As to why I am surprised, USA has always been at the forefront of technological research from space to energy. I think I need to really update my knowledge on Japan and its achievement. For the 3D ish, o boy, that shit go make sense oh. I believe there are people willing to learn and I hope we can start by appreciating those trying to make a difference. I also hope our educational standard is improved. Off topic: Seun, please, whenever I log out of Nairaland and want to log in, it always requests a input a code and you know some mobile phones do not open certain email like yahoomail except I log in via PC. It's tiring. I hope there is no problem with my ID here. Please, fix it and thank you. |

Feraz: I don't really know much of their technology (except nuclear this n that). What technology do they export? I doubt if they'll go anywhere even in d nxt 50yrs. Unless of cos they diversify n not just focus nuclear weapons/power generatn. My opinion though |

What of Denmark? Did more on Japan and saw a man called Hiroshi Ishiguro made - a geminoid. |
