Life Span

Real World Example

Imagine trying to predict how long your smartphone battery will last on a single charge. Just like estimating your phone's battery life depends on various factors such as usage, apps running, and battery health, predicting an organism's lifespan involves considering genetics, environmental influences, and lifestyle choices. In both cases, whether it's a battery or a living being, there are multiple variables at play that can either extend or shorten their expected duration of functioning, highlighting the complexity of forecasting longevity for both technological devices and biological entities.
