Look to your left. Now look to your right. Chances are, you just saw a computer. Probably more than one.
Technology is everywhere in health care - and for many reasons, that's a good thing. It's fast, it's efficient, and it can reduce errors. What's not to love?
Well, a lot. Technology is not a cure-all. It can make people complacent, introduce new errors, and get in the way of meaningful face-to-face interactions.
Still, love it or loathe it, technology is here to stay and we need to learn how to get the most value from the digital world that health care increasingly relies upon. That will be the focus of our conversation on the June 1 WIHI, The Digital Transformation: How Technology Is Helping (and Hurting) Health Care. World-renowned patient safety experts Bob Wachter and Tejal Gandhi will share what they're learning about technology's impact (both positive and negative) on our industry.

Affordable cinema technology, in the 50"s, brought families to see the latest film, and to increase profits, food and snacks were encouraged, this brought about the association with watching a film and having a snack, and today this has become a habit whilst watching our screens in our homes and work places, we indulge in a takeaway, and snacking as our screens are very much used by most citizens on the planet, and many today have a screen 24/7, turned on, in the sitting position, allowing for snacks indefinitely, and with increased homeworking, and the tedium of working on a screen there is a fridge within easy reach of our computer. Also we now socialise on our screens with family, friends, celebrities, and so its become a habit to associate food with the screen, the main source of our social life today. We don't think about eating when we are out and about physically, its much harder to be mobile and eat at the same time. Perhaps its time to rethink our lifestyles?

This content is superlative. A book with similar insights was also a pillar in my intellectual journey. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze
