What you perhaps don't see is that almost all of our technology would not exist without the theories behind it. For example, the computer you are using could not have been built without a deep understanding of Quantum theory - Quantum theory is at the heart of all semiconductor circuits. Also, things like radio and television - all of electricity - could not be built without a deep understanding of the physical theory behind it.
And BEFORE these theories were developed, the scientists who worked with a bunch of disconnected, poorly understood phenomena were usually regarded as esoteric dreamers who did not produce any tangible results.
