Americans were way behind in mobile phone adoption. every little kid in Britain had a Nokia style cellphone, even in the 90's when they were still a rarity among adults in the USA.
And due to a failure of American capitalism (or a success if you are one of the providers) Americans still pay 1990's prices to use them. Americans are still completely ripped off by their providers, they pay a fortune for calls and data compared to Europeans.

Reply to Bananarama may not have been one of the most successful bands of the 1980s, but it certainly was one of the most 80s bands of the 1980s. by L0st_in_the_Stars
Did an American post this?
Bananarama were huge in the UK and globally.
If someone isn't that successful in the USA Americans tend to rate them as "not successful"!

It's nowhere behind anywhere else.
Even in the 2oth century it still provided most of the world's "firsts", the jet engine, first commercial jet airliner, atm, DNA, IVF, the hovercraft, Concorde, VTOL aircraft and the first nuclear power station in the West,

Britain has more "firsts" than any other nation, it sort of invented the modern world.
I'm sure it will be alright.
