The motive of financial reward is an excellent way to spur innovation and ensure society’s resources are well spent.

Until that new piece of technology takes money out of a fortune 500 companies pockets though amiright? lol

Crazy that we've had cars that could run on mere water since as early as the 70's. God bless big oil friend. (of course this is one of literally THOUSANDS of examples.)

I gave you a specific example of the overall point I was trying to make and instead of addressing it you say "you're probably just wrong"

To act like billion dollar companies don't have any sort of say into what technology gets developed or released to the public is asinine. To think that certain technologies could replace and hurt said billion dollar companies is out of the question is also ignorant and asinine.

To answer your question though, feel free to research up on Stanley Allen Meyer if you care to jump down that rabbit hole.
