If we use the medical field as a litinus test of how effective research and development will be utilized, keep in mind that during the strive to find a dure for cancer the researchers found that one of the treatments being tested had a unique and unusual side affect, that could be useful.
The result was the creation of pills like Viagra and Cialis.
So where are the earth-shattering, ground-breaking discoveries of cancer cures? They're still being "tested", where we now have who knows how many "treatments" for erectile disfunction?
Then there's the story of the electric car, but that's a (horror) story for another day.
The environment for ingenuity and innovation has been side-tracked by an environment of greed and self-gratitude. Oh, there are advances to me made, but like most things in our world, they come with a cost.
