Thoughts on the twitter downfall of last week

It is fascinating to read the thoughts of others in real time during a public event. In the wake of an experience details perforated the walls of power with the voice of pluralistic hegemonies formed in counter publics but brought into a convocation that can be quantified.

Certainly the twitter townhall can act as a guise, but literally any given day we see segmented and patriotic discussion around any given issue. True, it is easier to get a true measure or reach during peak moments.

Now with Google plus adapting as fast as people use it, to their needs, and in a myriad of observable ways, we can apprehend the future enough to know that twitterfall is upon us, where as Facebook has become the premier yellow and white pages.

The onset of Telehealth | via ‘HealthFlock’

Telehealth helps lower access to medical care through providing cost effective access to nursing services, primary care providers and specialist. This can be a great help in the area of ambulatory care as well as hospital medicine in both urban and rural areas. American Medical News recently reported on Tele-ICU technology which allows 24hour patient coverage that helps make up the nationwide shortage of intensivist. A recent study showed that this service helped improve patient outcomes.
Can you imagine a day when an Asian specialist can provide much needed Telemedicine care to an Asian speaking population across state lines? Today, this is only possible if the provider has a license within the state in which he or she is providing services or during times of natural disasters. It will be important for the U.S. to develop policies which will allow for the provision of needed services for all Americans at all times.

Apple Files Patents for Augmented Reality, Transparent Screen – Mobiledia

 

 

Pance goes on to explain that the digital overlays, which add information to whatever picture the transparent screen captures, “may be transmitted onto a display screen that overlays a museum exhibit, such as a painting.”

“The overlay may include information relating to the painting that may be useful or interesting to viewers of the exhibit,” he added. In other words, Apples new iPads may allow people to point them at physical objects and instantly receive onscreen information about those objects.
