What hasn’t? USA has been transforming itself with technology for the last 200 years on an amazing pace. Cars, telephones, radios, television, airplanes, computers, Internet, smart phones, social media. The whole social fabric has been upended several times.


I mean, many of those entered strong even to third-world countries, I honestly don’t know what you imagine goes on in other places.


I agree. OP was asking what upended. Many things did.


None of those is exclusive to the US.


They were created in the US. Where do you think America's money comes from?


And yet, none of those are exclusive to the US. The original argument is that the US is more willing to incorporate large technological changes than Japan, so please show me a large technological change that the US has adopted that Japan hasn't.


I'm not discussing that argument, I'm not OP. But I answered your question.
