With the (re)start of my blogging career and just the general ins and outs of living in the 21st century, I've been thinking a lot lately about keeping up with new technology.

I've usually been behind the curve when it comes to new gadgets and trends. Years ago when I was a freshman, Zuckerberg and a friend of his interrupted our first year Biology class in order to convince us to join this website he started for fellow Ivy-leaguers. I thought the whole idea a silly waste of time that was cutting into our lecture. I still think Facebook a silly waste of time, but I must admit, it is a very profitable waste of time. Oh, and I remember a classmate who presented a short presentation introducing the concept of blogging - particularly in regards to activism in China. Again, I thought the idea of an online journal was one no one would find useful. And here I am, eight or so years later, blogging. I once predicted the upcoming demise of Twitter, Instagram, and Pintrest. Yeah, I know. But, thus far I have been correct about MySpace and BlackPlanet.

In regards to the practice of medicine - well, the time is already here for the infiltration of technology towards everyday practice. It seems, though, things seem to be moving faster than ever in terms of the innovations. This is all well and good, but I feel as if sometimes, these pace prevents us from vetting these new technologies. And when to I have time to not only keep up with medicine but the technologies that engulf it?

A recent post (well, few months ago), about physician, 2.0.

By the way, I started this blogpost on the Blogger app for my iPhone. Way too cumbersome and many of the editing features were absent. I would like to write on the go, but doing so on a keyboard half the size of my palm take too much effort. Well, I guess it is back to the good ol' trusty laptop.
