American Innovations

So, I just read this conservative web-journal. It was mostly collegiate male postering and intentional obnoxiousness, but it got me thinking. What does America contribute to the world?

I started talking to a friend about it and we compiled the following list:

(1)Entertainment
(2)Scientific Research
(3)Bureaucracy

I wanted to keep it strictly positive. We came up with a bunch of negative stuff, but they all had a liberal slant to them, so I cut them off the list. But, that's really all I could come up with. I'm not thinking about imports or exports, like corn or steel or anything, but less tangible "innovations" type things. Okay, so bureaucracy is pretty negative, but I couldn't help myself. Take a look at the tax code some time, you'll know what I mean.

I was thinking about other countries too, but it was mostly sterotypes.

Any suggestions? I never actually get suggestions when I ask for them, but naively, I keep on asking.
