The US Government invented iPhone not Steve Jobs, said Nancy Pelosi, the Minority leader of the US House of Representatives.
Steve
Jobs didn’t invent iPhone, but he did a good job in designing and putting it
all together, federal research invented it, said Nancy Pelosi, the Minority
leader of the US House of Representatives.
During the Democratic
National Convention Platform Hearing, Pelosi held up an iPhone and asked the
attendees, ‘Whether they have this (iPhone) smartphone?’
She pointed out that
in the smartphone, almost everything came from federal investment and research.
‘The technology for
the smartphone—including the GPS, created by the military, flatscreen, LLD,
digital camera, wireless data compression, research into metal alloys for
strength and lightweight, voice recognition. The list goes on and on.’
She explained that
‘The Association for the Advancement of Sciences in America has the list and
they say Steve Jobs did a good designing it and putting it together. Federal
research invented it,’ she said.
She mistakenly
referred American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) to
Association for the Advancement of Sciences in America.
However, according to
the cnet report, a spokesperson for the AAAS, pointed out towards another
organisation.
The spokesperson
said, ‘Pelosi remarks were based on the on an infographic prepared by the
Association of American Universities. Pelosi was mistaken in her reference to
AAAS.’
