Most certainly.

Not to mention that these companies, such as Apple, would not exist without the aid of the government from multiple angles.

Another reason I don't support Apple.

Now if we're talking computers specifically, it originated as a military/government project.

They wanted to calculate ballistic potentials. From there it took off. A snowball effect, it wasn't all government (ENIAC) or all private citizens (Gates).

We can talk about America's current socialistic-capitalistic system and the symbiotic effect, and the detrimental effect. I of course wish we were more capitalistic. But to chalk our current technological innovation up to pure socialism is lunacy.
