Our government spends trillions of dollars in taxpayer money each year developing new technologies. Some of those technologies are very visible, and provide recognizable benefits to society. A good example of this is the space
program.
NASA’s research has provided us with all sorts of usable technology over the years.
The Internet itself is a result of government technology research. It originally consisted of defense networks.
Yet, there are some technologies that the government has developed that don’t receive nearly as much press. It’s not so much that this research is being covered up; it’s that the government agencies just don’t go around promoting the technologies they are working on.
