Recording artist will.i.am of the group The Black Eyed Peas, discusses some products and technologies derived from NASA research, often called "spinoffs", that have been used to improve life on Earth. A spinoff is a commercialized product that incorporates NASA technology or NASA "know how" and benefits the public. NASA transfers technology to the private sector and state and local governments by actively seeking licensees. Technology transfer promotes commercial activity, encourages economic growth, and stimulates innovation in business and commerce.
