SJ sends a quote :
A science is said to be useful if its development tends to
accentuate the existing inequalities in the distribution of
wealth, or more directly promotes the destruction of human life.
The theory of prime numbers satisfies no such criteria.
G. H. Hardy from a 1915 lecture on prime numbers
Of course, with CryptoGraphy, primes have become highly useful.
