It is monday so I had Bio Lab today. The class was all about learning how to use the fundamental tools in a laboratory i.e. microscope and PH measure. As of late I have found technology, of the medical ilk specfically, to be enthralling.
Since the dawn of humans barring the past one or one hundred fifty years, a common cold was something to be reckoned with. Without a nasal decongestant one would be overflowing with snot and phlegm at all times. Without throat syrup, one's throat could be, especially while sleeping, extremely dried out and subsequently quite irritated making eating, drinking, and even swallowing one's own saliva to be very painful. Now, if I wake up with a stuffy nose and a sore throat, I just take some advil cold and sinus and some tylenol AM cough syrup and I can converse, dine, and go through a day of classes with only slight discomfort.
The reality is: our minds control our lives and bodies exponentially more than we did say, a thousand years ago. And I'm living in the dawn of this revolution.
