Solving The Mental Health Mystery: Exploring The Most Common Conditions

Health

When it comes to mental health, most of us have questions. The worrying thing is that we’re too afraid to ask them.

Online Etiquette: The Challenges Of Being A Late Adopter

Technology

We all value the importance of innovation in so many different ways. Without innovations in medical science, a slight cold would keep us out of action for weeks. Developments in other areas keep us warmer, cleaner, looking younger and more besides. As with everything that has upsides, there are also downsides to consider. When it comes to technological advancement, the primary downside is that people who grew up in a less advanced age can struggle to adapt. It’s true that we are seeing more and more people of retirement age getting online and using apps. The other side of that is that there are some who don’t pick it up as quickly. It’s not even just an age thing. Think back to the early stages of any tech innovation. Cell phones, Twitter, even email. There were always some people who called it a “fad” and didn’t bother getting on board.…

Tech Is Going To Slap Down Healthcare Costs, Not Push Them Up Even More

Health

It’s often been said that the reason why healthcare costs are rising is because of “technology.” But a moment’s thought about this shows that it doesn’t make much sense. Technology almost always makes something cheaper, not more expensive. We can see the effect of technology, even brand new technologies like big data and AI, in the falling costs of manufactured goods. And we can see the powerful effect that technology has had in the agricultural sector, causing food prices to fall all over the world. The problem with healthcare is that there are so many other factors conspiring to make it more expensive: the aging population, for instance, means that there are more people with age-related diseases. The way the market is set up where some states only have a single supplier means that there is less competition to push prices down. And then there’s the fact that regulations tend…
