Quiet Crisis

The lede anecdote of this story being so out of date — the United States Olympic basketball team has won two consecutive gold medals to go with a FIBA World Championship in 2010 — threw me off, I will admit. However, I do understand the crisis Shirley Jackson spoke of in 2004, and how Americans want to be at the forefront of technological advancements.

I have to ask, though: how many of us have a Sony product? Samsung? It strikes me as funny sometimes we're so obsessed with being the "best" that we overlook how we benefit from the technology of other nations, and vice versa.
