What was a demolition technician in world war 2?
The demolition technician was the person who wired up and set out explosives on bridges or any other thing that needed to be blown up and moved out of the way. They could even blow open doors they needed to get through. One of the best movies with a demolition technician is The Guns of Navarone and another one where they blow up a dam. We still have these technicians.
Would the world be abetter place if all explosives were banned?
No.....because if they banned explosives, then we will have no fireworks :( x :) More importantly, even outside of military use, explosives are critical for modern civilization. Explosives are used extensively in the mining for minerals, and in drilling and extraction of various fossil fuels. They are also used in both construction and demolition of buildings and other infrastructure. Making explosives illegal to use would make many of these tasks harder, more expensive, and often much more dangerous, and some tasks are simply not doable without using explosives.
How have explosives helped people?
Mostly in their usage for mining, road building and demolition. If an old building can be brought down all at once, it saves time and money. Ore can be mined from the ground much more efficiently with the help of explosives, roadbeds can be finished faster when they can blast through a hill, etc.

Explosives are used for mining purposes such as dynamite, military purposes like grenades, and for display as well as construction and demolition
Why are explosive bad?
Explosives are neither good nor bad, they simply ARE. Each day in the US we use about 5 MILLION pounds of explosives for good purposes- mining, construction, demolition, etc. However, explosives are concentrated energy (about 1 million horsepower in one stick of dynamite). Used for bad purposes, used carelessly, or used by someone without the training and knowledge to use them safely, explosives can damage property and hurt or kill people.
