The author suggests that federal funding for basic, high-risk computing research has been the driving force behind many of America’s most transformative technologies, including the Internet, modern AI, RISC architecture, Wi-Fi–enabling algorithms, and software-defined networking and that by supporting fundamental inquiry, training new generations of technical talent, and enabling ideas too early or uncertain for private-sector investment, federal agencies create a virtuous cycle that fuels innovation, economic growth, and the emergence of entire industries. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2025 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
