Ah but this computer actually had moving parts, I can't remember much about it, I saw it on one of those programmes with Adan Hart-Davis.

Everything you mentioned is not actually that good or worth thanking Britain for. Okay, I'll agree with the Brit pop. Brit pop is more important to me than anything else you mentioned. Computers too, only because there wouldn't be any Brit pop if it weren't for microchips in synthesizers.
And TV?

Britpop was mostly guitar-based.

Nah that came before the TV, as a play 😉

Regret One Among Many

Without the US market would much of the advance have occurred as it has? Europe, and the rest of the world may owe the US for media and economics as they exist today, imo, although it is an uneducated stance, and probably wrong, as I have never studied the subject.

Well we do support much of the world since the US is a nation of consumers.

The way I heard it it was a 15 year old Englishman. But, well...it's confusing.

Oh and the US can thank us for the industrial revolution. 😉
