Excuses, Excuses

I know you aren't really interested in my excuses for not blogging so much lately, but this past week has been so hectic! I've been out of town twice and it was midterm week-- I'm still trying to catch up with everything. Not only do I have midterm projects due, but I also have to turn in a proposal for one of my term papers already. Ughhhhh! This is going to be pretty short because I should be getting ready for work, but oh well.

I only took about ten minutes to look at the Arizona Republic this morning. I found a little blurb on page D3 of the business section that says Florida-based company Applied Digital Solutions has been given the okay to market michrochips that are implanted under the skin in order to provide doctors with easy access to patients' medical records. There is actually a longer article available online that was printed on the 13th. Even though this particular implant may be beneficial, it brings to mind books like The Giver, 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 (this one has a great little article written by Bradbury). Technology is a wonderful thing, but it's also dangerous in the hands of men...
