Gov Research

One of the great things about government funded research is it doesn't have to have a clear financial goal. So if government invested more we might get more stuff like.

HTTP invented at CERN

ARM party started by NEB - an government organisation formed because of Wilson speech (not the best sub there Tim)

ARPNET - US Government funded

Internet - Al Gore put the bill though congress

Teflon - NASA

Computers - Bletchley Park

Graphene - University of Manchester

instead of

Viagra - Pfizer

FaceBook - Zuc

better hoovers - dyson
