the argument is the same with art, of course. but the outcome is fundamentally different.
science and technology changes and improves our lives daily. science and technology build our economy. science and technology build our lifestyle. if you want a service based economy, a second rate lifestyle, and healthcare, don't invest in technology. not worthwhile.

The advances in semiconductors, transistors and miniaturization required for today's computers were inevitable. With or without NASA.
Technological advances move at the pace demanded by industry.
