Yesterday our softball team was traveling back from South Carolina. We got stuck in the airport over night and ended up having to take a bus back from Albany, NY. The point of this was that we were watching the show House on the bus yesterday. They were testing out these blood samples of this woman and couldn't figure out what exactly was wrong with her. Near the end of the show they finally had someone test the blood by hand and they figured out she had a parasite which can easily be seen when you are looking at it under a microscope. One of the people made a comment that "If we had just looked at the blood with our own hands then we would have noticed this right away" the response to hat was "That's what happens in our technology based world." I thought that was very interesting. Although we have all of this technology we sometimes over look that doing things by hand can be a better choice. It's the same way with spell check on computers. You can't tell me that people who type something up go through and spell check their papers after they have already spell checked it on the computer. Anyways I thought it was a good point to bring up. We rely on technology all the time but perhaps we should try things without technology once and a while and remember what it's like.
