Research in any field is important. Research is the advancement of technology and science. In my opinion, research that can be instantaneously effective or long-term beneficial can be made in either environment. Innovation is essential and improvements in technology will always happen. In industry, the goal is to create a product or solution that can solve the current problem. On the other hand, in academia, the goal is to study the problem, try to completely understand it and try to find a way to solve the problem. For me, I think that doing academic research is a great start in understanding how research works but I agree where I would also like to delve into industrial development since I want to see my research working. However, in hindsight, it can be said that the process of releasing a product is the same both in academia and research since there are regulatory boards, studies, and a lot of logistics that has to be managed.
