I don't understand what this is supposed to mean.

New methods of analyzing data, which can be implemented as a script, is also new technology. But it sounds like you are excluding it as a possibility.

Again, what do you call "tech"?

Intel provides most of the CPUs that Google, Microsoft, etc. use. Can't I be equally dismissive and say that Intel provides the tech and Google/MS merely run programs on top of it?

I would say that what you are describing is research not tech. But yes when I originally posted I meant IT (though someone on here told me that term sounded very dated).

Then yes, there's more new IT coming out of IT companies than from research universities.
