The age-old adage First Do No Harm should be the tempering goal of not only medicine, but government and industry, especially when they team up to deploy new technologies, set policies and serve the people.

This blog exists to reveal and analyze areas in which these powerful groups are failing to "first do no harm."

Digital dementia in the young: our sacrifice to the wireless god


Is the human race willing to sacrifice its young to the wireless god?
A new article describes a "digital dementia" in young people in Korea. Cell phone/gadget companies have created devices to take over normal daily brain functions and capabilities. Addiction to computer internet/games already existed prior to portable devices. The utter lack of vision or foresight as to the ways this technology was bound to affect people is noteworthy. The biological and social damage will continue in the wake of serving the wireless god.
