Since you are now in industry, I am just wondering if today's PhD in CS is different than PhD's graduate 10 or 20 years ago? <br /><br />I began to notice there are more PhD students spending their time building tools and mobile apps for "practical" used which has potential for commercial. I wonder if the trend for doing research in academia is moving toward commercial driven research. For example, building an app for finding a parking spot. I begin to think about this matter after listening to advice about doing practical and apply research during PhD program increases the opportunities finding a job in industry today. <br /><br />So, I am wondering if there is a shift in toward the attitude doing research today versus 10-20 years ago? Do you see the trend in Google? Or it is just me? <br /><br />Thanks,<br />Hank Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186457242428335144.post-5706592347361892942013-03-27T21:57:02.859-07:002013-03-27T21:57:02.859-07:00Hakim, thanks!
