What are the latest advances in Mexican technology?

Question

Americans invented the automobile, motion pictures and the computer. We built the skyscrapers in New York, put men on the moon and defeated Hitler.
If we are to benefit from NAFTA, what can Mexico bring to the table?

Answer 1

I guess this is the forum where you can find all the racism at night, now while your trying to be so hateful, guess what, that lady who is having the 5 kids are now the majority is this country.

Answer 2

Im glad to tell all of you, the MEXICAN UAV, the Ehecatl (for the Aztec god of the wind), is 100% designed, tested and built in Mexico, by Mexicans. It actually got the most important award for its technical advancements, during the most respected and largest UAV show in the world, held in Washington DC in August. The other contenders? Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman and over 200 other companies from all over the world (including Israel, Canada, the UK, Russia and many more).

To confirm the technical value of this, General Dynamics, one of the US tech and armament giants, is the sales rep in the U.S. Of course, they are not racist.



To me, this is definitely the most important (among many, many other) technological contribution Mexico has made in the past four or five years.



The best to you all.

Answer 3

Sorry. Americans did NOT invent the automobile, they mass-produced it.



Motion pictures are not uniquely an American phenomenon.



Americans did not invent computers--it was a British scientist, who built a computer the crack the Nazi U-boat Enigma Code.



Men on the moon? Using V2 rocket technlogy as a base, and Nazi scientists who should have been tried as war criminals instead of rewarded with jobs. The V2 was an indiscriminate terror weapon, a WMD.



Americans defeated Hitler, huh? All by themselves? What about military men and women from countries all over the world, including my own? (Canada) For that matter, what about the thousands of Hispanic GI's and Marines who defeated Nazi and Imperial Japanese tyranny? Winston Churchill asked Roosevelt to withdraw US ambassador Joseph Kennedy (does the name ring a bell?) for saying that the US should stay out of the war because after Britain was finished there would be lucrative trade with Nazi Germany.



One more question--what have you PERSONALLY done to contribute to America's greatness? Don't get me wrong. The US is a great country, worthy of admiration in many respects.



Please read a history book. You do harm to your own nation with your jingoistic claptrap. Furthermore, your thinly-disguised racism is an affront to the American values that I for one admire.

Answer 4

Mexico has did very little in the past 200 years apparently because the people are not very bright and motivated. I do not think they will ever land a man on the moon but they can make bebes for the American taxpayer to educate, give medical treatment etc. Americans should clean their own homes, cut their own grass and make greedy employers pay illegals a scale wage and then you would see CEOs rallying to send them back home. They are too expensive to keep in America.

Answer 5

Apparently South Americans make better soldiers compaired to Europeans. There are numerous stories of them having body parts gored (even in the head!) and were still capable of firing a weapon before bleeding out. From the ancient Aztec and Inca warriors to civil war (not in the US) soldiers and cartel members. They are hard to klll

Answer 6

Americans cannot take sole credit for any of those inventions, especially defeating Hitler.



you are an ignorant racist & nothing anyone says here is going to change that. I pity you.

Answer 7

Lol kind of funny that now that people are posting real things mexicans have done no one posts up anymore lol!!

Answer 8

You mean like the birth control pill and colour television? Or maybe advanced water management technology? How about their radio telescope program? I like their medical technology using radio waves to correct eye problems.



Edit: Those were only the 1st examples that I thought of. There clearly is much more. Or you proud of your ignorance and posted this question thinking that you were amusing? You were right you Are! :)

Answer 9

Mexico has never developed anything independently technology or any thing.

Mexican companies use American technology. Even in Mexico the companies have American who design for them.

This Hydra Technology is an American/ French innovation.

Under Nafta we have joint ventured with Mexican companies but Americans do all the design under a Mexican company name.

Even the USA has joint ventured here with many German and French companies under American company names.

We have taken the credit. It is just the way the world runs.

Answer 10

Hydra Technologies Surprises UAV Industry with Mexican-Made System, Earns Coveted Award at AUVSI's Unmanned Systems North America 2007 Show in D.C.



MEXICO CITY, Sept. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Hydra Technologies, a Mexican firm, presented the S4 Ehecatl UAS (Unmanned Aerial System), designed, developed and manufactured in Mexico. Continuing with the success obtained during the Paris Air Show in June of this year, a full-scale S4 was on exhibit in a shared booth with the U.S. defense contractor, General Dynamics, who represents Hydra for sales in the U.S.



AUVSI's is the world's largest unmanned systems symposium and exhibition (AUVSI, Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International). The 2007 edition was held from August 6 thru the 9 in Washington, D.C. This is the premier event for unmanned land air and sea vehicles, with over 275 international exhibitors in over 230,000 square feet of stands and exhibits.



The presence of the Mexican aircraft caused an enormous impact on exhibitors and visitors alike, having been developed and tested during 50 months in complete secrecy. Various agencies, both military and civilian, from the United States, Canada, Korea, Singapore and Colombia, along with several other countries, demonstrated great interest in adding this Mexican technology to their diverse missions. Both industry experts and government users expressed their surprise due to the complex technical level achieved and excellent quality of the Mexican system, available immediately.



During the show, unmanned systems are exhibited and demonstrated by the most respected aeronautical and high-tech defense contractors. A wide range of exhibitors participated, including General Atomics (Predator), Lockheed Martin (Global Hawk), EADS, Raytheon, L3, Boeing, Elbit, General Dynamics, Israel Aerospace Industries, Northrop Grumman and many more, presenting their most recognized systems and innovations.



In another unprecedented act, Ed Yakin, physicist and president of Hydra Technologies, received the prestigious "Al Aube Outstanding Contributor Award", which is the most important of only four awards given each year at the show. Hydra is the first non-US institution to get this recognition.



Approximately 500 people from the military and tech-related fields from various countries, as well as specialized media, attended the ceremony, along with several representatives from the Mexican government. These included high- ranking officers from the Mexican Army, Navy and Air Force, who joined officials from the economic, political and scientific bureaus, in clear support for this project of strategic importance to Mexico.



High level executives from General Dynamics expressed their immediate plans to market the Mexican systems in the U.S., stressing the high technical level achieved by Hydra -- not to mention this company's capability to develop and adapt technology in a short period of time.

Answer 11

Nothing and never have. They are not a very innovating culture people. Even in this country they can't work independently they work in packs and think as a group. It is just their culture.

The person above is not correct. It was an American firm in Mexico under a Mexican company the designed the technology. Here in the US one of the largest west coast concrete company is Mexican owned but all the Ceo's are American.
