  LiveScience.com - U.S. Losing Robotics Edge
The exhibition in Arlington, VA was planned as a release party for findings from a two-year study evaluating robotics research and development in the United States, Japan, Korea, and Western Europe.
The U.S. leads the way in areas such as robot-assisted surgery and mobile space robots, but is losing ground in other fields.
The U.S. once dominated in the development of robots designed for service and industry, but now other countries are catching up and even passing the old golden standard.

Losing the Edge Posted: 07-29-2002, 10:56 PM John, you said "If economics is the answer, I sure don't see why."  I think you've answered your own question.
Losing the Edge Posted: 07-29-2002, 10:57 PM Yeah, I know it is not PC to be a right winger.
Losing the Edge Posted: 07-30-2002, 1:56 AM I can think of one reason why the Chinese get a lot of OEM contracts.  It is an environment issue.  Imagine what will a typical American react if some toxic by product has to be dumped in his/her homeland just to make a few computers.

 International Education Matters -- Commentary -- "Losing Our Edge?"
I wouldn't say they were universally gloomy, but I did detect something I hadn't detected before: a real undertow of concern that America is losing its competitive edge vis-à-vis China, India, Japan and other Asian tigers, and that the Bush team is deaf, dumb and blind to this situation.
First, one of America's greatest assets — its ability to skim the cream off the first-round intellectual draft choices from around the world and bring them to our shores to innovate — will be diminished, and that in turn will shrink our talent pool.
And second, we could lose a whole generation of foreigners who would normally come here to study, and then would take American ideas and American relationships back home.

 Sun.Star Cebu - NG: RP losing competitive edge   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In various forums, it has been highlighted that China is emerging as a competitor in terms of attracting foreign investments especially in manufacturing.  This is quite true, but what is increasingly being touted is that we still have the advantage because of our high English literacy.
But we are already losing the war in terms of Japanese investments because in most major cities in China, Japanese fluency is not an issue anymore.  And the Chinese are aware of this fact.
I would like to share how some cities are addressing this, because it highlights how the governments are addressing the issue to ensure their competitiveness, which, unfortunately, will undermine ours.

KRUA general manager Tuesday Carr agrees with Coulson that modeling KRUA’s programming after commercial radio is one way to increase the number of students listening to the station.
Coulson says this can be done without losing KRUA’s core audience, but many listeners are disappointed by the commercial sound Coulson is programming.
And while Carr admits that some mistakes were made in implementing the automated studio, she doesn’t believe KRUA is losing it’s edge because of it.

In a message to Americans shortly afterwards, Israeli ambassador Eliyahu Ben-Elissar affirmed that Damascus was gearing up for war, stressing that the continual supply to the Arab states of US up-to-date weaponry was fast eroding Israel's qualitative edge over Syria.
With "Oslo" in shreds, Israeli officials (together with many experts and ordinary citizens) believe that the Arab states have already decided to wage another war, and have been preparing for it even as Arab-Israeli negotiations have progressed.

 Jobs, News and Views for All of Higher Education - Inside Higher Ed :: Losing Their Edge?
But three scholars whose findings were just published by the National Bureau of Economic Research suggest that there has been a significant and largely overlooked relocation going on since learning went online: among faculty members.
In “Are Elite Universities Losing Their Competitive Edge?,” the scholars examine evidence that the Internet — by allowing professors to work with ease with scholars across the country and not just across the quad — is leading to a spreading of academic talent at many more institutions than has been the case in the past.
The research by E. Han Kim, Adair Morse and Luigi Zingales is based on an analysis of faculty members in economics and finance departments, but many of the conclusions do not appear to be factors that would apply only in those disciplines.
