We use technology for everything… our smart phones and apps, digital baby monitors, interior and exterior car systems, heck cars are even driving themselves. It’s amazing what technology can do, but yet I believe some balance is always needed… as we encounter the imbalance of teens and young adults glued to the smart phones and losing the ability to communicate face to face, texting while driving and too much screen time. For technology there are pros and cons. But for now, let’s just talk about the pros.
First, I love TED talks. Love them. I have been on their listserv for years and years. If you are not, you should be. I find their talks insightful, intriguing and yet usually around 15-20 minutes so I feel like it’s not taking them much of my time.
This video is an oldie but a goodie. It’s called, The Wireless Future of Medicine. When it came out, technology was in its sweet spot.

It’s amazing how we are living in this era of technology, and how we are ever so reliant on it at times. And yet, it’s saving lives.
