US bashing..... ?
Grow up and stop being insecure.
That's about the 60th post I've seen on the entire Internet today that's tried to steal an invention from the US.

Assuming that you don't like that statement, consider everything else the United States has given the world:

- The airplane
- The lightbulb
- The telephone
- The telegraph
- The machine gun
- The coffee pot
- The sewing machine
- The revolver
- The repeating rifle
- The burglar alarm
- The hearing aid
- The camera
- Frozen food
- The first nuclear submarine
- The laser
- The calculator
-THE INTERNET

And many other things...

By the way, the Atomic Bomb is technically an American invention...
