We have certainly traveled far along the road of technological improvements - haven’t we? When you pause to consider the technology we have in comparison with days gone by, it is mind boggling, isn’t it?
The modern conveniences that are available to the masses today are incredible. Just a short 100 years back, very few people had cars. In modern times, virtually every person has a car. Some have more than one.
And think about the folks with mobility problems: Powerful stairlifts did not exist 100 years ago. Today there are a range of devices and products available for those who need additional mobility both in a vehicle and at home.
Today’s technology makes it possible for some folks to live a life that would not have been available to them 100 years ago. That is the good part.
Yet, there are still problems to conquer. Gum disease is a problem which is characterized in the beginning by the need to stop bleeding gums. It’s strange to think that we still can not beat simple gingivitis after thousands of years of being plagued by it.
Modern medicine may have slipped a bit on that one. But teeth whitening reviews abound on the Internet today. This is because at-home teeth whitening has become quite popular. This is an item that wasn’t within reach of the common man 100 years ago.
One tip about that: Please do NOT ever try to lighten your teeth with lemon juice – That is an urban legend that should be completely ignored. The lemon juice can cause great damage to your tooth enamel – please never do that.
Medically speaking, it is getting better and better. Heart surgery has advanced. But it leaves me with a sad thought. We should turn our attention to the area that really needs improvement: Prevention.
At the same time, we really should develop our ability to work with nature instead of against. Are there natural substances that can clean our arteries and help us avoid heart surgery in the first place?
Despite that, I’m optimistic. I am left speculating with wild imagination what we might have available to us in the next 60 years or so.I am anticipating the thrill of finding out.
