A smoke detector has one job, it needs to do this flawlessly, so smoke detectors are very very simple and are designed to have a near zero failure rate
Homeschooling assumes you have enough education to teach your kids, or enough money to pay for someone else to do so, and enough time or money to spend the time to do this, and that you actually already care and actively participate in your child's education
All of this means that these statistics probably do not apply to you
Would that be TCP/IP (invented by Americans in the USA more than 40 years ago)
or the Web invented in Switzerland 20 years ago by a Brit
The USA was innovative but that was in the past and most of the innovation is now imported
I think you will find that many of the inventions over the last 20 years that you think are American, were invented by others, by privileged Americans who bypassed the poor state run system, or by naturalised Americans who did not have to suffer the education system at all
You cite a series of international companies that are based in the USA, who employ many people in many countries and where the innovation is driven by people across the world
You refer to technologies that were invented in the USA (and other countries) mostly more than 30 years ago, and much of the recent innovation has been international
What have people in the USA actually invented themselves recently
They have attempted to use a single interface on small mobile phones, tablets, Home PC's, General business workstations, Servers, High end workstations, etc

So in the USA if the government cannot agree a budget they just stop
In the UK the defeat of a supply bill (one that concerns the spending of money) automatically requires the resignation of the government or dissolution of Parliament, much like a non-confidence vote, since a government that cannot spend money is hamstrung. i.e Since the Government cannot agree on what to spend money they leave it to the will of the people

Hydrogen Fuel Cells/Modern Batteries
Portability - HFC's are Better than Petrol/Gas, Batteries are not
High Energy - HFC's Better than Petrol/Gas, Batteries are gaining
Low Tech - One moving part in an engine, as opposed to modern fossil fuel engines which are hugely complex
Out of Sight - Depends where they are put, like fossil plants they can be put out of the way but often are not
I have a single node, localised, single user cloud server
In the 1980's I could have used this thing called the Internet (in fact I did)
You may be thinking of the WorldWideWeb which is built on top of the internet, that only started in the 1990's
I don't want to "Learn" Metro! I just want to use my computer!
If the interface is not obvious then it is getting in the way, and Metro (or whatever it is called this week) just gets in the way
The Start button was a faster than the program manager
the Search in the start menu was often faster than using the Start menu
Metro is in all cases slower
I don't want to run windows, use windows etc
