As I was reading “America’s Best Days May Be Behind It” I recalled working in NYC and how (a) it seemed everyone was leaping at the new technological innovation that was coming out, (b) how that technology seemed to get there first before the rest of the country got it, and (c) how the latest new technology was usually a tele-communications device geared towards improving our day-to-day activities rather than improving our health, in terms of medical. After reading the article, I stepped back a second and thought about the juxtaposition of the last 150 years. How as life changed? How has society, cultural views, and focus on technology?
