I found this interesting graph. What happened during the 80's that created a technology boom?

So that's why you people love the 80's so much. All the cool stuff were invented during the 80's

However this makes me think. All those inventions couldn't have just appeared overnight or 2-5 years. Technologies takes many years of slow trial and errors in order to be successful. The only explanation I think is that the government have been keeping all these technologies from public knowledge for at least 50-100 years. And looky who was the president of the US during that time? From this graph alone I would make an assumption that President Reagan was trying to help and share to the people all technologies they have discovered many many decades ago.

But after the Bush takes over, technology were slow again. All that is happening today are just modified of the old technology. Every week we see new version of cellphones coming out, but those are really old technology being dressed up as new. Why? To make more money and to make people dumber I guess.

Wow you can learn so much from this graph. All the important communition technologies were suddenly "invented" during wars. Was this just a coincidence or something more is going on. Makes me think, if WW3 were to happen in the next few months or years, what new technology would just "suddenly" appeared? UFO? Time travelling? Or maybe even teleportal.

This graph too point to the fact that new generation of people are not becoming smarter in school. I mean how can they? All the new discovey were kept from the public. And all these time you people have been funding the govenment scientific research and what they know, you don't. Look around you. Do you really see new technology coming out at the rate they should be? What I see in the future(if there is a future) is Windows 12, iPhone 8 or maybe we can finally watch satelite TV even during rainy day.
