Point of correction on Bell Labs. There was a war going on not a shooting shooty war, but a cold war that was motivating a lot of the research. In war time the reason there is so much focus and emphasis is because a country is fighting for its survival, it forces efficiency and results in a brutal manner, because if you don't succeeded and out think and out maneuver the enemy people die. In the Cold War the same tension and feeling of fighting for survival was present.
