Dragons Den,

The dark side of inventions.

Often inventions have a profound impact on society.  Some impacts have a net benefit but some may actually harm society. 

Here are some examples:
Nuclear power,
TV
the Internet
the Steam Engine
the Automobile
Handguns
Plastic

Questions

(From Yesterday) 

1. In your own words, explain what 'Fast Fashion' means.

2. What do Production Cost and Landed Cost mean?

3. Why do companies use the current model of production (using cheap labour in other countries) for clothing.  (why/what benefits are there for companies)

4. What are some of the environmental impacts of Fast Fashion, keeping in mind, farming, production and disposal?

(For today)1. Name 2 other inventions that have a 'dark side' and explain why you made each of your choices.

Please read the following LINK for the next question.

2. Since certain waste can be dangerous for thousands or millions of years, how are they proposing to warn future generations of the dangers? Is this a good idea?

3. Can you think of an invention that has changed the world for the better without having any (or very few) negative impacts.
