research employs technology (which was developed by applied research) to address its
objectives. Thus, these inquiries form a cycle of advancement.

Pure research offers solutions to many practical problems. It helps to find the critical
factors in a practical problem. It develops many alternative solutions and does enable us to

technological inventions like Steam engine, Machines, Telecommunications, etc.
