Revise: Technological Applications and RisksA benefit is more than a device merely existing: it is the positive difference the device or process makes, such as improving health, safety, communication, mobility or access to energy.
A favourable effect of a course of action, such as improved health, safety or quality of life.
Keep benefit and risk separate: a beneficial application can still introduce risks, and a safety measure can reduce a risk without removing it completely.
