It’s funny and at the same time tragic how we’ve utilized technologies throughout human history. We discovered the atom, and created a massive weapon with it. Then with the internet, a truly technological evolution, and the most we can think to use it for is porn and social media.

If it doesn’t make you laugh to think about it, it can get you down. That’s why it’s so refreshing to read a story like this. Where we can see our technological advances served for the betterment of mankind.

If you have pacemaker, or know of anyone who has one then you know what a pain they can be. Having to be examined when going in for a checkup. Then if a problem is detected, oh boy, it gets really fun.

Well, there looks to be a shining light against the problems of pacemakers. Because, the first internet connected pacemaker is hooked up, and online. The device is hooked up to a New York woman, and so far things are looking good.

Her pacemaker is setup on a special medical frequency, as not to interfere with other electronic devices. The internet connection provides her doctor with easy notification of any problems. Also, her checkups can be done remotely through the device’s equipment.

As I stated previously, it’s so amazing to see our technologies used for the advancment of something beneficial. If you are a pacemaker owner, or know someone who has one I’d love to hear your input about this invention.
