Since computers were invented, we have rapidly acquired knowledge about health and disease. We know more than what we learnt or understood in the last century but have less to offer in the form of treatment or cures. We have unfortunately lost the one and the only treatment in medicine that cured illness “The Antibiotics”. This is likely to bring an end of medical profession and healthcare industry.

This computer technology invented to help communications and work has reduced personal human interactions, debate and innovations that help us progress. I think we now have acquired too much knowledge but have not found solutions that help us survive.

Before computers were available, we spent days reading, searching previous publications and months planning to organise research. We sat to-gather and discussed the implications of publishing our work in the medical journals. Since we have easy access to computers, internet, the time we spend of research, discussion has been reduced, muting our creative inquisitive mind.

The number of medical journals and publication is oversaturated; it is now difficult for us to keep pace with progress. We are now often secretive about what we know and what we think because unscrupulous individuals and companies often hijack hypothesis to help them commercialize.
