technology & health care

I love how all your medical questions can be answered online now. Can't tell whether it's a flu or cold? Go to webMD and look up your symtoms.

This is all fine and dandy when I am lazy at home and getting sick. However, when I go to my doctor office. My doctor would mainly sit on her computer desk and type random stuff on her keyboard as I talk about my problems. She would then reads off and tell me my diagnostics.

Afterward, she proceeded to order my prescription over the internet and I get to pick up my medicine an hour afterward. Yep, no more squinting while trying to read your doctor's ugly handwriting for what he is prescribing for you.

This is strange to me. What is the different between having an actual doctor or simply going to a medical website?

Female Gamers

Someone linked this in my gaming forums. Some stuff applies to me, some not so much.

I don't think is accurate to assume that about all females gamers. But stats will be stats..

facebook/myspace

I remember before facebook becomes the bomb like it is right now, Myspace was the it thing. I hated it. But all of my high school friends at the time were on it. I hated how customizable it gets and everyone clutter their pages with glitter gif and random chain mail tibits.

Then comes along Facebook. Back then it was very restrictive to its member. I remember you have to have a university email address to have it, which sort of limited the people who were are going to community college and have no school email.

Up until today, I don't exactly use either my facebook or myspace except for checking people pictures. I don't feel like writing stuff publicly on people's walls or engaging in pokewars. But that's how I am though, a not very social person.
