No ignorant ilinformed people with a massive over inflated ideas about their own supremesy unwilling to believe that there are other people on the planet with a functioning brain and claiming they own everything while being too bone lazy to actually check anything except with other Americans .
1) Internet, well that is tricky because it was a world wide collaboration .
Americans will tell everyone that the internet evolved from ARPNET, but ARPNET was just a private email network and in reality it goes back to technologies the USA got from Germany as reptreations.
What makes the INTERNET the internet is TCP/IP and that came fro CERN in Switzerland
2) Porn was around in the Greek & Roman times, if not before and is clearly depicted in some of the pottery which for reasons of the "Fake" modesty is hidden in the basements of museums & universities for use by scholars only
IF you want some porn in literature search for the works of the Persian poet Suffi or perhaps the Kama Sutra
3) ?
4) The UK & soviets were making crappy vehicles long before the USAthey just don't pretend that they are the best on the planet.
5) TV was first introduced back in 1840 by Scottish & German scientists wanting to share the results of laboratory experiments with each other.
In 1926 an Australian back yard inventor broadcast the Melbourne cup ( horse race ) from Flemington Melbourne to Ballarat Victoria then lost interest and went into rocketry .
6) a matter of taste
7) again tricky one.
Most objective historians would put the origin at the Bletchly Park WWII research station.
Now the personal computer can definately be attributed to Apple .
8) an Australian invention .
Because the telephone system in Aust was originally government owned , every Australian was deemed to have equal rights to a telephone . ( never happened in the USA )
Because Australia is the same land masa as continental USA we had to be able to send telephone signals over massive distances .
But because of the geography & small population running wires was not an option so we perfected the use of microwave radio transmission for telephones which at a latter date sold to Bell Industries
At one time Aust had over 90% of the microwave patients world wide .
The technicians working on the towers noticed that the eggs in the nests of birds in & around the towers were all cooked .
The CSIRO ( government research facility ) investigated and invented the microwave oven.
Now at that time we had an unbelievably conservative government and part of that government policy was anything the government developed that had commercial potential to make a profit must be sold to private enterprise. No Australia company wanted it ( or could afford it ) so GE bought the technology & release the domestic microwave oven. ( same story with Rank Xeros & copiers )
And Cable TV was also an Australian invention ( developement would be more appropriate ) and again at one time he held over 80% of the world wide patients for the use of optical fibre for communications. The longest fibre was the Sydney Melbourne line and that was also the first one to send TV signals down a fibre cable thus inventing ( if you like ) cable TV and for the same reason as above the technology was again sold off.
Up until 2015 Australia had the largest optical fibre network on the planet and had the government appointed board members of the now privatised telephone company ( Telstra ) back in 2000 not vetoed the plan to take the fibre network to each house hold we would have had the worlds first all fibre network on the planet .
All the USA really is happens to be the largest single private market on the planet which means it benefits from the mass effect so any new technology introduced can get massive market penetration very quickly which results in massive profits which in turn causes massive product development very quickly as every Tom Dick & Harry attempts to catch the cash train .
Oh and the Wi-Fi you use to connect your computer, phone,TV etc to your fibre modem & the WWW, you guessed it another Aussie invention / development .
