Science is a very strange thing. And like everything is run by the people with the big cash and the tomorrows profit in the eyesight. Eventual benefits in the 10+ years future just don't work for them. It's up to devoted scientists to make useful inventions or find major flaws in todays technologies, which we should have known, but we don't.
I'm being slightly affected, because yesterday I visited a seminar dedicated on energy medicine. I must admit, that I didn't really believe some of the said stuff, but I was frankly scared by the data cited about wireless transfer and it's negative effects on humans, especially children. I so very hope the person was just trying to make a fuzz, but unfortunately most of what he said was either very well fabricated, or true.
Back to the point:
Every new invention that doesn't bring money today almost certainly gets lost under a pile of other patents. Example - Gorilla Glass.
New inventions that would cut the money flow from powerful people get "lost". It's harder to do in the Internet age, but it's still the way things are.
