U.S. companies increasingly look for growth overseas

Technology trendsetters Apple, Google, Facebook and Netflix all mined foreign countries to produce earnings or revenue that exceeded analysts’ projections in their latest quarters. Prodded by the steadily rising demand for Internet access and online services in developing countries, these technology companies will likely be wading even deeper into overseas markets for years to come.

Why the U.S. will remain the world's #1 economy. It is big enough to spawn numerous high-tech companies like those mentioned, and, then, when they are flush with cash from IPO's, they can expand overseas. No other economy can come close to this combination.
