Technology has the amazing power to change lives. Many years ago, I came across the exciting news that laser technology was being adopted in eye surgery to cure near-sightedness. As I was quite troubled by near-sightedness in my left eye, I enthusiastically consulted an eye doctor in my city to see whether such surgery could effect a major change in my life. She was a famous doctor who had received post-doctoral training in eye surgery at Harvard Medical School. After examining my eyes, she encouraged me to have laser surgery and not to worry about the potential side effects. I can still vividly recall her quick response to my concerns: “You don’t need to worry about side effects. Technology always advances. It will cure side effects in the future.” This response did not assuage my concerns. Instead, I asked a follow-up question: what if technological advancement was unable to eliminate side effects? The doctor immediately responded: “Please believe in technology!”
