I have satisfied internet speed in my country. But when I went on business trip to Korea and used it's internet service,My mind was changed. Returning home, I didn't like slower internet speed than Korea's.I needed time to get used to original speed again. I heard Korea is remained top in internet speed. The bandwidth of Korea is 14mps per second that is 7 times faster than 1.9mps an average of the world. I use some goods made in Korea like home appliances I'm quite satisfied with those things too. My friend said to me, AVATAR also used Korea's 3D technique and lately they succeeded in demonstrating 4G mobile communication(LTE-ad.) that is available to transfer 3D VIDEOS. I think, they could make ubiquitous society at first in the world considering it's current skills. if we use speedy internet service like korea, maybe everyday we can see this kind of fun stuffs more quickly.

I use to live in Korea.

Technology for internet and just about everything...cell phones, etc. is so much better than the U.S.

The U.S. is getting more and more stone age every decade...

They Government hear in Australia is currently rolling out Fiber Optic Cables right around the country, which they claim will make the speeds faster than Koreas, its going to take 10 years and cost at least $50 Billion.

Plus you can walk down almost ANY street in Seoul or any small town in Korea, and literally see a half dozen (PC-BANGS) or INTERNET CAFES absolutely everywhere, very cheap - $1/hour with the best technology.

Then you go to the U.S., and you see nearly zero internet cafes...unless its some high end one with $5+/hour internet usage.

On the plus side, is in the U.S., the Korean immigrants are bringing their computers and charging low prices....but they always put it in Korean.

Whatever guy, if you notice in the video, he is using Microsoft Windows.
The computer is most likely using an Intel or AMD cpu and the video card
is most likely either Nvidia or AMD. We put men on the Moon and sent remote control rovers to Mars, we built the Space Shuttle a long time ago.

I feel so backward here in the U.S. with all our backward technology,
We invented Plasma, LCD and OLED displays. Our military is the most advanced in the world and we dominate in computers and Aerospace.
