In deriving these US Technology Corps, I first started with the very helpful Yahoo Finance Website Technology Sector and made certain adjustments I deemed relevant.
The historical stock prices of these companies were obtained from the following two excellent internet resources.... Google Finance and MarketWatch Big Charts.
These 208 largest US Technology Companies had their average stock prices drop by a huge 45% from the midpoint of President Bush's second Presidential term on December 31, 2006 and very early in President Obama's first term, or on March 6, 2009, which was these US Technology Corps' very lowest point due to the spillover effects resulting from the disastrous 2008 Financial Meltdown.
But nearly miraculously since March 6, 2009, the average stock prices of these same 208 largest US Technology Corps have increased by an exceptional 416% through January 17, 2014.
Clearly, the investors in and employees of these 208 US largest US Technology Companies must be extremely pleased with the impact of actions taken by both the Obama Administration and the US Fed to successfully rescue the US economy from its extremely weakened state.
In the first chart below are the market prices of each of these 208 largest US Technology Companies on January 17, 2014, on March 6, 2009, and on December 31, 2006, sorted by Percentage Increase since March 6, 2009:

And look how many of the above 55 recent IPOs with total current Market Capitalizations of at least $1 bil are in Application Software (20) and are the very high profile Internet Information Providers (10).
So when you add the original 208 with both 18 and now another 55, that makes a total of 281 US Technology Companies with a current Market Capitalization of at least $1 bil each. And this number has been growing like weeds and I think it will continue to do so.....this US High Technology trend is just so overwhelming.
When you review all of the above data, the clear conclusion is that US Technology Companies are driving the US economy and doing a very successful job of it. Further, the successful use of Technology is also a very key ingredient in the success of nearly all of the US Non-Technology Companies. So far, the rest of the world is substantially behind the US in Technology. The US Government must continually adopt measures to help keep the US far ahead of the rest of the world in this critical regard.
