This report presents the traditional Georgia Tech High Tech Indicators ( HTI ) for 2007. It provides time series
comparisons for 1993, 1996, 1999, 2002/3, 2005, and 2007. These compare 33 countries on a present competitiveness
indicator, Technological Standing. We also provide four leading indicators—National Orientation, Socioeconomic
Infrastructure, Technological Infrastructure, and Productive Capacity—that point toward future competitiveness
prospects. We don’t strive to report HTI findings here, other than to note that China has replaced the USA at the top on
Technological Standing. This reflects certain peculiarities of HTI, but more importantly, an astounding rise over the past
15 years.

In this article we give a short overview of recent (mainly 2007-2008) developments related to the h-index and
its generalizations.
