It would be lovely if some of it moved back to the nations that developed this technology in the first place (and still consume most of it).

It is such a shame that it has become hard to find good science and engineering graduates in places like the UK. But when you discover that nobody cares or wants these skills, people drop the subjects after school and follow degree courses that offer a possible future. If that trend was reversed now, it would be hard to find lectures with practical engineering experience. Most left the UK or the industry, many simply retired early. Britain was once a great place for technological companies, not so today.
