Description

Unfortunately I'm not the original creator. As I was searching for a picture to make just this type of political commentary, I ran into this gem. I don't know who the original photographer is or the person who altered the photograph or I would give them the credit. Anyways, enjoy!

I see that you list cell phones here. Cell Phones are a variety of computer. The technology of electronic computers goes back to tabulating machines made by the US Government to handle census data in the late 19th century. The first general purpose electronic computer was the ENIAC, made by the US Government which drew upon other computers made by the British Government during WWII to crack German codes. Further government R&D projects over the last century pushed forward computer science, such as laying the foundations of what would become the Internet.

You list cameras here. Louis Daguerre is one of the fathers of Photography. When he completed his work, he gave the French Government the designs in exchange for a lifelong pension for him and his children and being honored as a hero of France. The French Government made the patents available to everyone thus spreading the technology of photography around the world.

You express your sentiment against the government and people being against corporations using the written language. Written Language had its roots in ancient Mesopotamia by Bureaucrats managing inventory. In the ancient city states of that region some 6000 years ago grain and similar goods were collected in tax by the government who used them to pay artisans and workers for their work, goods and services. But since the volume of goods coming in and out of public warehouses was so great it was beyond the capacity for them simply to remember all the ins and outs of operation. And so they took to making marks in clay tablets, first tally marks alongside drawings of a bit of grain or a cow or a fish or a pot based on what came in. The basic system was gradually standardized and refined into written language and mathmatics, which eventually led to the modern alphabet we use today.

But it's juvenile to assume that just because the government had an active hand in critical developments in science and technology throughout history that governments must always be 100% good. Just as it's Juvenile and Naive to assume the same thing about Corporations.
