Technology… It is second nature. But how far is too far?
Insurance companies are pushing for “tele-medicine”. There are
multiple other examples of technology options that people feel are
ridiculous. Are these cost saving technologies really saving
anything? (Do not only focus on the example I provided).
Technology is basically the application of scientific knowledge in order to achieve ones goal.The advent of technology and the ongoing advancements are simply to ease an individuals life.In order to understand the relevance of every scientific inventions,we need to also understand the capitalism behind it.Science is no longer a tool used mere for utilities ,rather it has been all commercialized towards monetary benefits.
The technology and its products are of both great use and utter waste.There can not be only single side of the coin,if there is science and technology there will be both utility and absurdity. Tele-medicine could sound ridiculous to some and great help to others.As far as it is concerned that how far can science go,considering the recent advancements and scope,I can always say that this not even not the halfway.
