utility
Significado
utilidad, servicio público, utilidad económica, funcionalidad
La palabra "utility" en inglés se refiere a la cualidad de ser útil o beneficioso en un contexto específico. En economía, puede hacer referencia a la capacidad de un bien o servicio para satisfacer necesidades o deseos, mientras que en un contexto más técnico, puede referirse a servicios públicos como agua, gas o electricidad. Además, se utiliza para describir programas o herramientas que facilitan tareas específicas en informática.
💡 While "utility" is frequently used in economics, it is important to distinguish between its quantitative aspects (such as marginal utility) and its qualitative implications in ethical discussions, as misuse can lead to conflating economic value with moral worth.
