Explanation:

The aggregation of methods used in order to accomplish a goal is called technology.

Whether technology is used to accomplish a goal which society does not deem acceptable then the goal is bad. The same technology can be used to do good. So, the question whether technology is harmful or useful depends on the goal a person wasts to acheive.

Let us take an example

The internet is one of the greatest discoveries of mankind which allows people access to unlimited information. It can be used for a variety of different services such buying goods and services. However, the internet is also a technology that facilitates illegal activities that circumvents government intervention. This way of technology being used is harmful.

A sample of Francium-212 will decay to one sixteenth of its original amount after 80 minutes. What is the half-life of Francium-

lbvjy [14]

20 minutes.

The sample would lose one half the quantity of francium in each half-life.

$1/16 = 1/2^{4} = 1/2 \times1/2 \times1/2 \times1/2$

Thus a mass decrease by a factor of 16 would correspond to a period of four half-lives. It took 80 minutes for the sample to lose all these francium, therefore

$t_{1/2} = 80/4 = 20$ minutes.
