“You know, Curmudge, the curious thing about you old guys is that you are so easily amazed. I think the reason is that nearly all of today’s wonderful devices were invented after you had completed your education.”
“Au contraire, Sleeping Beauty. In our years together haven’t you perceived that my education has never been completed? I suspect that at least 90% of the knowledge I used in my professional life was gained either in kindergarten or after graduate school. Even now, every day is an eye-opening educational experience.”
“Okay, mind-boggled blogger, what was yesterday’s gem of new knowledge?”
“Jaded Julie, it’s right here in this video, The Wireless Future of Medicine by Eric J. Topol (1). Although it runs for 17 minutes, it is well worth the viewing time.”
(17 minutes later) “The video was truly impressive, Curmudge. Will you have some comments about it?”
“Perhaps, but not today. If a busy person has spent the past 17 minutes watching Dr. Topol, he will undoubtedly feel that he has learned enough about amazing devices for the moment.”
