Things created by DARPA - the R&D branch of the US military:

  • the building blocks of GPS
  • the 1st computer mouse and Graphical user interface (GUI)
  • the protocols that underpin the modern Internet
  • Onion routing / Tor network - used by dissidents and journalists to circumvent censorship
  • The mRNA platform used in the world's leading Covid-19 vaccines (and potentially 1st vaccines against Cancer)
