I recently saw a Cleo Abrams video about particle accelerators and the lead scientist said that they use particle accelerators to create the building blocks for future innovations.
I’m sure advancements have been made only because particle accelerators exist but I don’t know any. Can someone highlight a direct influence particle accelerators have on our daily lives?

The World Wide Web (www) and HTML were invented by CERN physicists who wanted to share data world wide (at LEP, the machine before LHC)
The Internet had been around for 20 years before (military use), and nobody in the normal world used it.
The WWW created all the online business and their revenue. This has paid back all of fundamental science for the next century at least.
