Academic vs Real world

The Ideas I got

token ring vs ethernet
z buffer
setero

anymore?

Try to prioritize your work based on what people's need.
In academic world, researchers admire the feature-rich methods.
For example: Token Ring vs Ethernet. (todo)

It's clear that Token ring is the winner. However, in reality, it's Ethernet whichs dominates
the world. The researchers seem to forget what they have learned in software engineering.
Some features are nice-to-have, while some others are must-have. In the token ring example,
bandwidth reserve is a nice-to-have, but easy-to-implement is a must have, since it direclty reflects the production cost of a hardware.

Don't forget that we don't research just for research. The purpose of research is to satisfy people's needs. Try to prioritize your objective, or your work will end up nothing but a pile of papers in the archive of a library.
