Actually, they already do ;-) Unfortunately in a very intelligent way. I have read an American historian comparing France and the USA in the first half of the 19th century, arguing that "too much science" actually prevented technology from being widespread in France, meanwhile in the USA it was practical, democratic, non-elitist (by what she means that it did not require studies in science) and therefore much more successful :-( Yes, and therefore the USA had to import European scientists in masses since the second industrial revolution....haha
