How has this product impacted society in a positive way?
It has given society a great light source to use which is great because we don't have to use candles like most people had to back then. Without gas lanterns we wouldn't have greater light sources like chandeliers, or lamps.
How has this product impacted society in a negative way?
One negative factor is that gas lanterns(any type of gas lighting)can be used as an abusive tactic, and can cause to have a catastrophic effect on a person's psychological health.
If you had the ability to change this product in any way, what would you change?
I would change it to where it can still give off light but not much heat because humans still use it to abuse and it should not give off to much heat but still light.
