I think doing research for the future and current generation are both important, but we must focus on doing research for the current generation because solving current problems can assist or open the doors for future problem solutions. I am not saying to forget about doing research for the future, but you should always keep it in the back of your head because past discovery can lead to new discovery. Current research isn’t a day, a month, or even a single year, it takes longer depending the obstacle they will encounter along the way. If we fail or pass current research it will give the future generation an idea of what to do and not to do for their problems.
