Abstract
One needs to interact only briefly with the outside world to appreciate
the ubiquity of technology in contemporary society. The President of the
United States tweets, parents ignore their children on the playground
while bowing to their smartphones, and airport patrons scurry to camp
out at power sources so as to keep their technology fresh for their
upcoming travels. Compared to other industries, health care has been
accused of slow #adoption of innovative technology, but that situation is
seemingly changing fast [1,2] From electronic medical records (EMR) to
imaging to "-omics", technological advances are having an increasingly
noticeable impact in the world of health care, and #health care researchers are capitalizing on these advances to fund research
programs. Though resistance to such advances by the medical
establishment (though not medical researchers) has been noted, few would
question the favorable direct or indirect impact some technologies are
having in improving human health.However, in discriminant application of technology becomes
counterproductive when it diverts attention from alternative, less
technological solutions that may be more practical or cost-efficient. A
#techno-optimist tends to believe that for most problems there must exist
a technological solution which trumps all non-technical ones.
