There are indeed newer examples such as GPS, RF-CMOS, Lidar, Siri, mRNA vaccines that DARPA invested in one way or another. Not saying they are as spectacular as the internet.
- chii 3y agoNot to mention that perhaps the low-hanging fruits are all reaped in the earlier years. The newer tech might just not be as impactful as the yester-decade's, because those impact is already felt, and creating more impact in the face of today is getting harder and harder. Exponential growth is not possible to achieve in practise.
