It's funny to me how 'research' has become a put down. aka "research toy" vs "getting REAL work done".



Most of the time it's because those people can't make the connection between the research and the "real world". The worlds are very blurred in my experience.


It's not a put down, it's an application area:

Research: generate ideas

Applied: deploy to thousands or millions of users
