In South Korea, speed is an obsession. In restaurants, a common dish is called "the fastest dish". What does this show about South Korea? This country is definitely one that strives for being fast. This is seen when South Koreans "consider broadband Internet a virtual birthright", and why the South Korea has three telecommunication firms that try to expand and improve their networks everyday.
But there's a slight problem. Although the country is home to global headquarters such as Samsung and LG, but these companies build themselves largely by copying and continually improving existing products instead of leading the movement of technology. These company follow rather than lead. Why?

Even though Seoul built a technology center to help developers create new innovative technology, but there is a small group that actually is involved in this developing. For many years, college students in South Korea decide to pursue law and medicine instead of engineering or computer science. This definitely places a damper on the movement of technology.
So truly, for South Korea to lead the front of the technology revolution, the citizens of South Korea must be encouraged to take a more serious outlook on engineering and computer science. How can a country that values broadband as a birthright not be developing new and innovative technology?
