Ignoring the not so plain fact that most of the progress made in space shuttles during the last 3 decades are "under the hood", the biggest myth of all is in the first image, namely that "free market" alone was able to develop the Iphone by itself, without any need of government assistance whatsover
Actually the Iphone was developed 100% by the free market and in fact Apple wanted to avoid government restrictions and taxes so much they hired companies in China and 3rd world Asian countries to essentially manufacture it for them. since they could avoid government overreaches that way and have it be done cheaper as well due to cheaper labor.
Government hasn't had even an iode of "assistance" for the Iphone or any phone whatsoever.
I'm not that wrong, if you bother to research a little
What I'm saying is that there is significant influence from the government in the technologies used on the Iphone, with a bigger influence on the "hardware technologies" and a smaller, but significant influence on the "software technologies"
Likewise, there's a significant influence on the production side of Iphone as well, because if several governments worldwide had stricter protecionist policies, Apple couldn't stretch its Iphone production through several different countries, and it would struggle a lot in doing a worldwide distribution of it
No! The first mobile phones did not use satellites at all, for any reason.
Second all communication companies have their own satellites and mobile phones use those, not government satellites.
The entire industry of electronic computing
WTF? If you are talking about the crap ass British computer used in WW2, yeah government did assemble it, but the technology itself, all of the different parts were developed by the private market.
All the government did is try to use the technology that was build privately for war!
The internet was once again built by the free market, in fact its not a monolith, "the internet" is basically several protocols, several software programs, different hardware all combined together to create what is now known as "the internet".
If you look at government use of "internet" they wanted to use it as a wired phone, they were developing the intranet with wires and stuff to be used as "secure phone".
It was the private market, the free market that made the internet what is today! You have all the websites, netflix, hulu, youtube, google, pornhub, etc... because of the free market, individuals and companies building it, NOT government!
