Top 10 Most High Tech Countries

Japan is considered the most technologically advanced nation in Asia and possibly the whole world.

Japan is currently developing super advanced gadgets like dimensional elevators. These elevators can transport individuals to different floors of a tower in just a second. Everything will be displayed as holograms, resembling the ultimate transportation experience.

Furthermore, in the field of weaponry, Japan is developing units similar to Gundam that can fire lasers and hover in the air. There are even rumors suggesting that Japan is working on a large-scale barrier capable of defending the entire country from nuclear bombs and tsunamis.

Overall, Japan excels in technology and can be considered superior in this regard.

Well, I'm an American, and this is a pretty interesting list. The reason people don't see America as technologically advanced like South Korea and Japan is that it's weaker in communications tech. America is a huge nation, so it is technologically advanced in different ways than South Korea and Japan.

As a side note, East Asia is impressing the world with its technological advancements, but they like to improve on what currently exists, while the Western world loves to think of new ideas. Therefore, the West is still quite technologically advanced compared to Asia. After all, if you look at East Asia, only some nations are developed, while some are still developing.

Every nation has its own tech strengths, even Africa. I mean, they're good at mining!

If anything, we should be amazed at European countries because historically, they had to start with limited resources in that northern continent. Asia and Africa were rich in resources.

South Korea came in second place after Japan on the list of highest-technology countries in the world. South Korea is rated as one of the best and highest-technology countries on the planet due to its advancements in robots, cars, trains, computers, boats, air conditioners, televisions, helicopters, and planes. South Korea also ranks high on the list of countries with the fastest internet speed in the world and is close to Japan in terms of advanced technologies.

India should be ranked #1. It has strong software development, good medicine, and great scientists. The USA is doing well partly because Indians go there and contribute. It's Indians who are helping them. The Indian government isn't supportive enough of its own scientists, but once India becomes modern, it will be number one. It might take at least 20 years for a fully modern India to emerge in our eyes.

Cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai are already advanced and different from poorer areas. However, in these cities, the wealthy have access to high technology while the poor often miss out. In the north, New Delhi and Kolkata are leading the way. New Delhi, especially, has made deals with various places to improve.

New Delhi needs to focus on improving security. For instance, a 6-year-old child died after falling into a water tank due to poor infrastructure - he managed to pass through an iron door. The police have taken up the case, but more needs to be done. In Mumbai, many accidents happen, so more cameras need to be installed.

However, in poorer villages, there are still many family issues, and modernization has not fully reached these areas. Modern India is progressing, but the country needs to be aware of these types of accidents. North India, particularly New Delhi, has made strides in software development, but it has not yet brought any significant change.

New Delhi should start using these technological advances more broadly, especially in Bangalore, where scientists are working hard. They should focus on internal progress before spreading information widely. New Delhi also needs to improve internet access, technology, and infrastructure in poorer areas by building better roads and ensuring there are no open gutters on footpaths.

German technology, although divided after the Second World War, remains top-notch in the world. German engineers and scientists contributed significantly to the U.S. space program. They developed the first nuclear missile, which, although a dreadful weapon, is an impressive piece of technology. They were also behind the first car engine, jet engine, and fully programmable computer.

The only tech industry in which Germany doesn't lead, or at least maintain a top position, is IT. During the Cold War and its period of division (West and East Germany), the country seemed to miss out on that sector somewhat. However, leading tech companies like Siemens, Volkswagen, BMW, Audi, Daimler, BASF, Bosch, and Continental are at the forefront in the fields of electronics, automobiles, robotics, and automation.

We're not the king of technology, but no nation is. Each nation is high-tech in its own way. Japan is good at making electronics and games, Germany excels in car manufacturing, the USA is proficient in weapons, and China has made some of the most important devices, even though some have been around for a while, like the compass and gunpowder. All nations are equal in their own way, so nothing is the best or worst. It's all good, friend!

Six? What? China is the king of technology! They invented many things in ancient times, such as the compass and gunpowder. They're still advanced today, going strong in car manufacturing, video games, and more. China should be at least in third place. They own!

The British are responsible for 54% of the world's most important inventions. Pretty much everything we take for granted and use in everyday life originates from Britain (and Italy). These inventions include television, computers, telephones, radios, fridges, flush toilets, lawn mowers, light bulbs, light switches, steam engines, jet engines, the Underground, syringes, needles, cat's eyes in the road, the discovery of DNA, MRI machines, fire extinguishers, submarines, military tanks, machine guns, hovercrafts, scuba diving gear, corkscrews, the World Wide Web, lava lamps, Concorde, the police force, sheriffs, and special forces. The list also includes most of the world's sports and much more.

Israel's private industry is highly successful. The country develops some of the most high-tech military equipment in the world, including the legendary UZI. Israel is also pioneering agricultural advancements, such as a product that maximizes crop growth using half the resources of conventional systems.

Furthermore, Israel has the highest percentage of home computers per capita in the world. The country leads in the number of scientists and technicians in the workforce, boasting 145 per 10,000, as opposed to 85 in the U.S., over 70 in Japan, and less than 60 in Germany. Over 25% of its workforce is employed in technical professions, placing Israel first in this category as well.

France was the second most represented country, just after the USA, at the last CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in 2016 in Las Vegas. French startups made up more than 30% of Eureka Park.

France is arguably the most promising country when it comes to hardware startups.

France is fortunate to have some of the best engineering schools in the world. Students don't merely study computer science in these schools. They also study electronics, mechanics, and other low-level courses. This provides better training if you plan on working for hardware companies.

I know for a fact that Canada is way more technologically advanced than the USA. They took years to get wireless interface machines, and they still don't have chips in their credit/debit cards.

US power plants are not as green. Even simple things, such as a crosswalk that beeps for the blind, are rare to see in the US.

Sure, they have smartphones and stuff, but so does mostly every other country in the world.

Even if you look at American companies, they are heavily employed by international people. For example, the Canadians who worked on the AVRO Arrow project were some of the finest engineers who then moved on to NASA, making it possible for computers to pilot aircraft and spacecraft to this day.

I'm not saying that there aren't some brilliant Americans out there, because there are! It's just that America is very quick to slap a "Made in USA" sticker on anything that is financially funded by them, yet still not invented by one of their own.

Q: Who invented the light bulb?
A: Henry Woodward (a Canadian)

Tesla only perfected the design, yet all we hear is "Tesla" and "America" when it comes to the light bulb.

It seems that this list was made by someone whose definition of high-tech is limited to iPads, iPods, and iPhones. However, it's not just about consumer electronics. It's also about spacecraft and the space industry, nuclear energy, and the construction of aircraft and watercraft. Even the USA buys Russian rocket engines for NASA.

The Russian company Rosatom builds nuclear power plants (NPPs) all over the planet. And, of course, let's not forget about the legendary weapons! The Russian Military-Industrial Complex knows how to make powerful, reliable, and reasonably priced weapons.

You can't forget that Russia is the one who invented space exploration! And to this day, it is the number one in space travel and technology. That alone should put it in the top 3!

We have optical fiber, some of the best cellphone coverage, and the best internet connection and infrastructure in tech/networking.

If not the best, our submarines are at least very close to the best. Even the US has trouble finding them at short range. Our military tech regarding airplanes and artillery is world-class.

Our budget may not be as high as other countries', but we get value for the money that is spent.

Sweden has the second-highest average internet connection. It is the most eco-friendly country in the world and has the third-best healthcare system in the world.

Australia has higher levels of mineral production than anywhere else in the world. It has more advanced technology than the US, and despite its smaller population, people in Australia use more technology, such as iPads, tablets, and computers, than those in the United States.

We developed vaccines for diseases before the US did, and we have the best economy in the world. Australia is very advanced in the fields of science and innovation. It is one of the best countries for starting a business and running entrepreneurial ventures.

Finland was the first country ever to develop a cell phone that could be carried around. Without Finland, we wouldn't have the devices we are using right now. Additionally, according to a UN report, Finland ranked number 1 out of 73 countries as the world's most technologically advanced nation. Some people may argue that the US has superior technology, but I tend to disagree. Without Finland, the USA would have had no foundation for their inventions. If Finland hadn't developed Nokia, computers might look like something straight out of Dr. Seuss.

Small but very advanced, this technology-focused country has no critical legacy systems. It has the biggest potential to become the next Japan. With a very strong and secure IT infrastructure, 4G coverage exists all over the country. Even in swamps, the internet speed is faster than some countries' average WiFi. You won't see it coming, but this country will be leading the technology development of the world in a decade.

It has been proven that Estonia is the most internet and tech-advanced country in the world. This just proves that this website is a load of nonsense.

How is this nation ranked lower than Austria? Swiss people are so internet-savvy that it's unbelievable. Their level is nearly on par with Germany's in terms of internet usage and watch production. Germany is number 5 on this list, while Switzerland is number 18!

What Switzerland is doing here is noteworthy. It is one of the most advanced countries in the world, ranking in the top 3 among European countries along with Germany and France.

The Swiss are very internet-savvy. There's probably a reason why they're so neutral.

Manufactures high-end weapons such as Glock or the Steyr AUG. Known for high-end audio equipment from AKG. Ferdinand Porsche was an Austrian engineer.

I am using a laptop made in the Philippines, and it's amazing, fast, and reliable. I have no trouble using it. I think the Philippines is one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world. We had a nuclear power plant before China did, although it is not in use. Also, inventors in the Philippines have ideas that can provide solutions to people's safety issues. The Philippine government is just ignorant of this, which is why the country's technological advancements are not widely recognized.

It is ridiculous that Taiwan ranks alongside North Korea in technological terms. Taiwan's semiconductor industry is world-leading and is crucial to just about every single computer produced in the world. It should at least be ranked close to South Korea, if not equally.

Taiwan has a strong electrical engineering industry and is also home to one of the most precise metalworking industries in the world.

With several science-based parks, huge R&D, and companies like Acer, Asus, MSI, Via, Microtek, and HTC, Taiwan is one of the most developed countries.

Iran is the only country in the Middle East to have made a supercomputer and is the most advanced country in the region. The standard of education is very high, and the universities are excellent. The country is very scientifically and technologically developed.

Iran has the fastest rate of increase in scientific publication in the world.

Iran is going to have more democracy and can attract back its scientists.

They are one of the largest weapons exporters in the world, and the makers of things like GPS-guided artillery shells, stealthy cruise missiles, and explosive armor-piercing incendiary machine-gun rounds.

In terms of everyday technology, Norway is far more developed than the US. Although the US produces more tech, Norwegians in general have better internet, better TVs, computers, and such.

It is number 1 in everything. It should be number 1 on this list too.

I love Ireland! St. Patrick's Day is celebrated throughout the USA, Ireland, and other countries. Saint Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland. The reason I love Ireland is that I am Irish.

Ireland has more mobile phones than people and is home to the European headquarters for some of the biggest companies in the world.

Google, Microsoft, Facebook, LinkedIn, Apple, Intel, HP, Etsy, eBay, and many more have chosen Ireland as the location for their international headquarters. Ireland also has an extremely young, well-educated, and tech-savvy workforce.

One of the fastest internet speeds in the world makes it worth it.
