The United States is currently more dominant than ever in key measures such as technology, demographics, and energy production. The country leads in technology with all major technology companies being American, excelling in software, hardware, artificial intelligence, quantum, and soon in nanotechnology. Demographically, the US is vibrant compared to other rich countries due to immigration. In energy, the US has shifted from being the biggest energy importer to the biggest producer globally, leading in natural gas production and oil production. Despite this strength, the US tends to criticize itself, which can be beneficial as it prompts the country to address and solve its issues.
