Americans invented neither the car not the computer.
-
But we did invent Steve Jobs and Henry Ford. So we'll take the credit.
-
Nor the television (Scottish). Nor the radio (Canadian and Italian).
-
French and English, respectively. But the Americans popularized them.
-
I would credit Carl Benz (a German) with inventing the car, unless you consider the steam-powered vehicles built by the French to be cars.
-
I do consider the French steam engine as the first automobile, yes. Though, if I remember correctly, the French name translates to automatic cart (since he modified a horse cart).

Thanks for the clarification :)
