Discovery Exercise #6

Searching online has become for me a regular source for finding information & enjoying images. It has been easy & relatively simplimatic to find what I'm after - mostly for things associated with the books that I'm reading at the time. I've also become a fan of online video clips - the ones that help you achieve a task & the ones where you can watch news/entertainment or interviews eg President Obama's inauguration or Susan Boyle on "Britain's Got Talent". It's true that you can't believe everything that you read or hear, esp on the web but you can't either in books, newspapers or on TV - you just need a 'rounded' point of view. When technology is used for the greater good (not just to entertain), it becomes undeniably 'newtonish' ; surgery is one of those areas I am in awe of. Having experienced a machine performing surgery with the surgeon only directing it, is one such example ; with virtual training for such specialised procedures now almost commonplace - in my opinion, this is where technology really stands out - the benefit of mankind.
