The Star Trek Tricorder...Is Here!

Everyday I read and watch videos on information of various news.  The new technology stuff always amazes me.  However, it's pretty much factual that our human brain hasn't really changed much in the past 40 or 50,000 years.  Yet just in the last ten years our technological world is exploding.  The Smartphone and Tablet world growth is almost blindingly fast.  That's why I invented this blog.  To help folks who might feel intimidated in exploring this technology.

Now I'm not one for trying to keep up with the Jones on anything.  Rarely am I the fist person to go run out and buy some brand new product.  In fact, I'm usually the guy who waits about six months to read people's feedback on a new product to see if it really works correctly.

However, there is now a new device out there, that uses the Smartphone/Tablet technology, that can read your vital signs, health status, and warn you of local outbreaks in your area.  It has yet to be approved by the US FDA.  But it is expected to be on the market for consumers by the end of 2013.  It is called the Scanadu SCOUT.  It is basically the "tricorder" that many of us Star Trek veiwers will remember from the TV series, which originally aired some 49 years ago.  This is one device that I might stand front and center in line for.

Read the tech article link below, watch the video and see for yourself.  Yes...the world around us is changing folks.  Hopefully we are smart enough to change and grow with it, even as we grow older.
