Japan has remained one of the countries whose lead in technology remained unchallenged. Despite a few shortfalls here and there they still remain top. Currently, Japan leads as the number one maker in robots. Japan’s latest invention is the robo-dog. The robo-dog is meant to guide the blind. This particular device has taken close to six years to finally come into the market. America has remained at the top for so long as the super-power but with the rise is technology and the innovative nature of the Japanese, this coupled with America’s policy will be a thing of the past.
Japan has over years remained as the number one bullet train maker. The bullet train, spanning over a period of close to 45 years, boast of being involved in a single accident. Even with the tsunami having devastated Northern Japan, the train got back on the road a few days later. China’s bullet train made much later than Japan’s recently had an accident and killed dozens of people. Japan has remained as the leader in technology due to its high standard of living. This has contributed because a lot of people live above the poverty line. Japan currently compares comparatively with China when it comes to leadership in technology. Japan currently holds some of the best cell manufacturing companies including the likes of Kyocera.
Companies like Sanyo and Sharp amongst others are neck to neck when it comes to technology with Kyocera. A lot of companies have merged in-order to pull their recourses together and make it in the hard economic times and neck to neck competition in technology with their neighbor China. Japan currently is one of the best ever solar manufacturing plants comparing competitively with Germany. Due to the rising oil prices in the Middle East because of the unrest there, nothing would have come at a better time. Tapping on the solar energy is the best ever decision made by Japan and it will surely keep the top amongst the current leaders in technology. Japanese are innovative and have changed the world tremendously through their interest and expertise in technological devices.
