Personal 24/7 medical consultant.

Technology is fast changing for the better. This upgrade has improved the standard of living of the people and affected their lives in several ways. The impossible becomes possible with changing technology, so why not this wish of mine? Although it will help people live their lives with more ease and spend less money, it may also suck up the jobs of many professionals and practitioners.

The Wish or Idea - My wish is a tool which will act as my personal medical consultant and give me free medical advice whenever I need it. It will a device which will be connected to my home computer or laptop with a blood tester, XRay device, eye scanner, bp checker, temperature check and other tools along with an application which will collate the results of all the tests and provide you the exact health condition or ailment that I am going through along with the prescribed medication. It will also have an inbuilt ordering system connected to the internet using which I can compare the prices of the medicines prescribed and order them online for a home delivery.

Possible? - By now before I may explain any more features of the device in my mind, many of the readers may be thinking that this is impossible, just like how 10000 years ago a man said there will be something like computer and phone using which we can interact with people sitting far away and his listeners thought it was impossible. He did not utter it again because he might have got executed by the king for spreading rumors and wrong information, I am not that unlucky and I can repost this article again and again.

The path – Building this tool would not be easy by any chance and will require several years of research and testing. A huge database of ailments, diseases, symptoms, characteristics of the human body and lot of medical knowledge has to be created. This database should be equivalent to the medical knowledge of 10 best doctors in the world combined. A database of all the available medicines has to be created which would not be a difficult task. The most difficult task will be to manufacture a compact and low cost testing device which will have all the diagnostic features required in it. A lot of electronic engineers, mechanical engineers, VLSI and embedded system specialists, programmers, doctors, chemists and other technicians will be required in this research and development. However it may take several years.

The cost – It may initially be so expensive that only the successors of Bill Gates or likewise can purchase it. But gradually, China and Taiwan based manufacturers will start manufacturing it and it will be a product sold in every home.

The consequences – This device may render hundreds of medical practitioners jobless and reduce the demand for medical study. May people may be amazed of the results whereas some may get a wrong medicine prescribed due to wrong diagnosis. A huge number of lawsuits may be filed against the corporation who invents this product initially and it may have to pay billions of money as compensation.

However with time technology will become as intelligent as men and this wonder may be achieved some day.

3G – The Third Generation Lifestyle

The 3G is going to be a buzz for sometime till something like 4G comes in to tickle your imagination again.

A brief introduction to 3G would be it’s a mobile telecommunication service which is all set to make your mobile devices much more than a phone. 3G services in India which were first offered by public sector players like BSNL and MTNL are now provided by a private player Tata Docomo and others like Airtel, Vodafone, Reliance and others are expected to follow soon.

Post the 3G era, if you opt for it, you can have a multipurpose device in you pocket, using which you can also make calls! This service essentially includes faster than broadband, mobile internet, video calls, mobile TV and much more. Let’s explore the 3G life.

The 3G life is your life on a hand held, wireless device and on the go. It combines the features of several other devices in it and makes your life just the next generation life.

Social on Mobile – The web had become social some time back and now has the mobile. It’s no more a one to one contact using your phone. Take a snap and share it with all your friends across your networks, get their comments on it and reply back. Chat with your friends, update statuses and track your network, on the go.

TV on the Go – Now I no longer need to miss the cricket matches when I am traveling. Instead of the irritating SMS alerts, I watch it live on my 3G mobile. Watch live TV on the phone with the help of the lightning fast 3G services. Tune in to your favorite music channel or programme in the taxi to your airport and also the airport, switch it off while on flight! And yes enjoy the services even when your plane lands, if it is within India.

Video Calls – I seldom use skype now to make video calls to my family and friends, even if I need to; I use it on my phone. I now use the 3G video calling services to connect, talk and interact. Isn’t it interesting? You are holidaying in Goa, attending a short video conference held in Singapore about the successful product launch.

Radio and Music – Music is what you love while at work, on the go and even while sleeping? Go for a 3G mobile, download songs till you have memory left in your phone and listen to them. If you exhaust it, listen to the radio. Organize your music, create playlists and do lots more. You can even listen music online if you don’t want to download.

Browsing – Browse across the internet, check your mail, write and read blogs, bookmark them, share them and just love it! Mobile browsing has become lighting fast with the advent of 3G and yes faster than the broadband of your company, which you always keep complaining about!

Applications – Go ahead and install as many apps you want in your phone for various purposes you may need to. Link your home monitoring camera to your phone, take a photo, edit and distort it, or shop from your phone. What else? Find out locations, cool places to hang out, pay bills, book tickets, play interactive games with friends and more.

Lots More – Have come out of your office to pick your daughter, when you got a call from Los Angeles for an urgent business presentation. The client is online and you need to impress him. Just put in your headphones and microphones, download the presentation from your docs, share your screen and start explaining. Captivate the client and get him impressed by the time your daughter finishes her ice cream. This category is probably for the hundreds of features of 3G which I have missed out just to give you a chance to explore it!

Welcome to the 3G life, are you not enjoying it?
