I think we're wrong to judge all technological progress by it's usefulness, but the correct scientific term would be "Exploit". There are other things to consider in nature than use, such as "Can we poach it?(Rather than can we 'use' it). It seems that usefulness is not as significantly like exploitation as some may think, but is in fact impartial, means something lesser than what's thought by many. I believe in the E's for science: experiment, expedition, equate, exploit.

This thread is about the term exploit being the correct term for things that consider the prospect of any science, rather than 'use', as exploit would include more things for example, like poaching.
