Topol is certainly trying to sell the idea as more personalized care, the opposite of depersonalized, but I could see the technology leading to less office visits, which may seem depersonalized to some but I'm really in favor of much of what he says. He mentions the 350 billion dollars a year drug industry and that 1/3 of that is waste where medications are given that are not helpful and in some cases even harmful due to side effects. I think he's right about that, so if these devices can help avoid billions of dollars a year in waste, I think it's great.

This is simply the first wave of depersonalized care ultimately leading to what has become our very depersonalized lives. Cutting edge technology, iphones, wifi, nano technology, radio waves, haarp and the technologies that seem to be making life easier is very much the reverse in the end. Technology ultimately is used to 'control' the masses and subdue us under the guise of leading us into a higher quality of life.
