Reflections on How Far We Have Come…
We have certainly traveled far along the road of continuing improvements, haven’t we? When you stop to consider what we have today in comparison with one-hundred years ago, it is a bit mind boggling, isn’t it?
The modern conveniences that are available to the masses today are incredible. Just a short 100 years back, very few people had cars.In today’s world, nearly every individual has a car. Some own more.
And think about the folks with mobility problems: Powerful stairlifts did not exist 100 years ago. Yet today. There are a range of devices for those who need additional mobility both in a vehicle and at home.
Today’s technology makes it possible for some folks to live a life that would not have been available to them 100 years ago. That’s what is good.
In reality, there are many issues that need to be investigated. Gum disease is a problem which is characterized in the beginning by the need to stop bleeding gums.It is difficult to understand how we have yet to defeat periodontal disease after centuries of experience with its destructive nature.
Modern medicine may have slipped a bit on that one. But teeth whitening reviews abound on the Internet today. The trend is that whitening teeth at home has become ‘almost’ the norm.This is an item that wasn’t within reach of the common man 100 years ago.
One tip about that: Please do NOT ever try to lighten your teeth with lemon juice - That is an urban legend that should be completely ignored.Lemon juice is really acidic and can quickly eat away your tooth enamel, please don’t ever use it on your teeth.
Medically speaking, it is getting better and better. Cardiac surgery technology has advanced far. Yet, it leaves me feeling a bit sad. What we really need to do better at is prevention.
At the same time, we really should develop our ability to work with nature instead of against. Are there natural substances that can clean our arteries and help us avoid heart surgery in the first place?
Despite that, I’m optimistic.Currently, I am really excited to daydream about what we might have in the next 50 years or so.I am eagerly looking towards finding out for myself.
