  • We will probably be seeing more movies about technology being used in healthcare. I know it's hard for some people to grasp because they see it as impersonal, but that's the same way computers were viewed when they first came out. The costs also went down. The interesting thing is that many older adults actually start liking these devices. During nursing home experiments with robotic dogs and real dogs, many residents actually preferred the robotic dog.
