Applied research vs. academic research

Academic research: It's done when colleagues and advisors can start to appreciate.
Applied research: It's done when your mom and kinds can start to appreciate.

Academic research: Excellent when your name goes everywhere, but not your research results.
Applied research: Excellent when your research results go everywhere, but not your name.

Academic research: At worst, your papers never be "citable".
Applied research: At worst, your results never be "publishable".

Academic research: Directing the future technology, with "innovation" in mind.
Applied research: Directing the current technology, with "compatibility" in mind.

Academic research: When find your idea in daily live, you believe your idea is great.
Applied research: When find your idea in daily live, you believe your idea is crashed.

Who says that applied is easier then academic?!
