Engineering advances far outnumber and outpace those in the field of medicine. Over time we have continually seen the collapse of variety of electronic devices and mechanical ones to where you can now drive out of a showroom with a high speed computer, radio, camera and a timepiece on four wheels that can have you accelerating at 15 miles per second. All this while emitting no toxic gas.
Medicine on the other hand still has a variety of pills for fighting or helping different bodily functions and then again many are not so smart - its hit or miss. Personal experience and personal opinion.
Its not like the take this pill and go to bed joke that really works. Its a litany of visits and non stop poking and prodding to ultimately guess the root cause (my dentist can attest) or so we thought.
Apple computer (which was the original name of the company) was more a phone company than a computer company but really sold a mini computer packaged as a phone. Or wait. It ends up selling more cameras than Nikon and Canon combined so perhaps its a camera maker? It gets real confusing real fast. But that is the nature of the collapsing technologies and Moore's paradigm that predicted the computing power to grow exponentially while the physical dimensions of hardware supporting this advance shrunk.
I am now reading that we may have hit the limits of this theory and any incremental push to play with the atoms might backfire. In other words at the nano levels we cannot tinker nomo.
We might have to now look at and there have been smart people looking at combining the biological equivalents and the mechanical creations to come up with the next generation of super pill or super processor.
Beam me up Scotty?
