READER COMMENT: Thank you Bill for bringing attention to the need for funding of new technologies. A few questions to consider: Who decides what technology should get funded by the government? It may not be about winners and losers but how much success has been realized recently by government funded research? Does real innovation get passed by if it could potentially impede current technologies developed by the government? Should the entire system of funding be reevaluated? Should government funded innovation dollars consider a platform like crowd funding? -
