Huh? Computers were privately funded and you could have called them pornography machines if you wanted to be dismissive of the technology. I understand you're not excited by those technologies but no need to mischaracterize them. I'm not excited about curing cancer because it's just not something I think about much, but I still recognize it's a good thing, even if some big-pharma company ends up owning all the IP and overcharging for it.
