Science News Review

Science news for the average citizen.

Technical Innovation and Pandemics

Sometimes simple things remind you how privileged we are at this time in history.

Consider this: you can receive text-messages on your cell phone that update you about the current state of the Swin Flu pandemic. There has never been a time in history when you could get such useful information so quickly.

Or think about the extraordinary level of global cooperation regarding protocols for keeping Swine Flu in check. While some people might be complaining about over-reaction, I for one and am extremely grateful for the extraordinary care that’s being taken to prevent mass death.

Score one for innovation and technological progress.
