The history of technology is a rich story with individual, institutional, corporate, and governmental protagonists driven by necessity, the pursuit of fame and fortune, and visions of becoming more powerful actors in the world.
The invention and proliferation of new technology has been a primary driver of both local and civilization-scale transformation. It’s a story that features brilliance of the highest order, dogged determination, good luck, bad luck, glorious successes, miserable failures, happy accidents, and lamentable unintended consequences.
We hope these features depict the lasting value of publicly supported investment in government research as it has helped to establish and reinforce the country’s status as a world-leading driver of scientific discovery and technological innovation.
