One of America's central myths is that we lead the world technologically. Anyone who travels out of the country knows how bogus this is and how, in so many ways — roads, bridges, airports, healthcare, education, childcare, life-expectancy, happiness, high speed trains and, yes, internet — Americans live a second world quality of life.

According to a recent study by Ookla Speedtest, the U.S. ranks a shocking 31st in the world in terms of average download speeds.

Arrow is a well-studied teenager, who has learned classic English prior to coming to the U.S. Once here, Arrow is faced with a new language. Max calls it “lolspeak” and we also know it as internet-speak.
Max brings up a number of points that got me thinking.
