Business versus Academia

November 12th, 2007 by daniel

Why does it seem that businesses are anti-academia? by academia I mean university research, or just a general theory point of view, or a standardised approach…. in fact its quite weird because there are a lot of people against this point of view.

But without research new business cannot exist. Yes we can make modifications on things that exist already (and we see things like OpenSocial popping up), but we can’t actually make truly new things.

I think this justifies my desire to get into academia. I am an innovator at heart and that is what I want to do…. I want to make useful advancements, and not recreate wheels. This is why I’m off to do the masters at Bristol in October 2008.
