3. What is the difference between applied research and technological

development?

Applied research: is research accessing and using some part of the research communities' (the academy's) accumulated theories, knowledge, methods, and techniques, for a specific, often state, commercial, or client driven purpose. Applied research is often opposed to pure research in debates about research ideals, programs, and projects.

Technology development is the process of research and development of technology. Many emerging technologies are expected to become generally applied in the near future.
