Writing in 1949, Vannevar Bush, the Director of the US Office of Scientific Research and Development during World War II, said that

pure science may go its own way, if it is allowed to do so, exploring the unknown with no thought other than to expand the boundaries of human knowledge. But applied science, the intricate process by which new knowledge becomes utilized by the forces of engineering and industry, pursues the path pointed out to it by authority.24
