First: Who invents new technologies i.e. Optical disk formats.
Second: How does a company make sure it's new technology is compatible with computers?
Finally: How is this sold among the public i.e. is it just advertised or do other companies such as the computer manufacturer have to integrate it into their products?

The new technologies these days (especially ones that relate to technology) are invented by companies and not people. Usually the people who actually invent the technology are teams of people within a company. They are paid and funded by the company.

The company has to test the new technology to make sure it is compatible with computers. Usually the same teams who invented the technology test it.

If the company that invented it also has a product that they can incorporate their invention into (like a new information transfer port will be incorporated into their own computers.) If they don't have products that they can incorporate their invention into then they demonstrate how the product or invention works and then they sell it.

Through sales.

Are you stupid?
