Remembering that Newton, Einstein and many others are mostly theorist and it is their theory that have led us to the develpment of technolgies that we enjoy today.

cmon... thats a misinterpretation of the history... Einstien and mostly theorists... led to development of todays technology? what? your kidding right?
Faraday, Volt, Ampere were all
experimentalists not theorists.... physicists 1800's
Maxwell came along after to describe the above progress EM in his 4-5 equations 1860s
Tesla was playing with wireless radio control electric submarines when Einstien was like 11.
Radio, Power Gen, Elec, all done via experimental physics.
Our economy runs off Faraday and Tesla....

Learn ya elec history boy! The record is clear with regard to the base of elec technology.
Experimentalists first --> work then described by mathematicians.
This ofcourse does not discount the valuable progress by Einstein (quant, photo-elec, thermo) and Newton, which lead to tech... just alerting that alot of the technology we depend today on already existed... a big distortion to say it mainly came from theorists.
