Abstract :
That new approach to Web search became the foundation for Google. Google´s technology lets people work more quickly and efficiently from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection. Google might be the ultimate example of government-funded research that hits the jackpot. However, even smaller advancements in government-funded research can yield significant dividends for the researchers´ institutions. These dividends can also extend to the companies that partner with the researchers or that might be spun off from such research, to those companies´ employees, and to those who take advantage of end products based on that research
