Adopt metric measurements

Reference no: EM13193242

you'll discover that the United States has been the slowest country in the world to adopt SI and move to metric measurements. Right now, U.S. scientists and medical doctors use metric, but many other people do not. Do some research into why the United States has been so slow to adopt metric measurements. What problems does this cause for the United States? What benefits might it bring the United States? How might you resolve the gap between the United States' measurement system and that of the rest of the world?

As always, be sure to provide appropriate citations, references, and links to any information you use in this discussion. Be sure also to avoid copying and pasting anything longer than a line or two from any given source-posts must always be made up of your own words.
