I
can honestly say that the set of four articles this week are among the best we
have had on EID. I know I am biased and
since I write about self-delusion all the time, I should be quite skeptical
about my own perceptions. But looking at
the comments on the site, Linked In, and Facebook, I think it might be a
legitimate evaluation.
I am
particularly proud of Thursday’s article on enhancing memory consolidation during
sleep. The underlying research is
intriguing as a way to reduce prejudice, but there are many possible
applications of this technique for behavioral change.
Wednesday’s article on plain language felt good. I read a lot of legal documents as part of
my forensic consulting. They are always filled with legalese and complex
sentences so the readability of the words, sentences, and paragraphs is poor
across the board. Although I think the
Supreme Court is a little hypocritical given how their legal opinions are
written, it was good to see the lawyers get a little comeuppance.
The article on nearables got a lot of response, including from the design company that is
developing the technology. Some of you agree with the company that there is a
significant advantage of this idea over other beacon tech as well as Bluetooth and
NFC. We will see.
The article on telemedicine got the most response, clearly hitting a nerve. The passion was high on both sides, with some
people thinking that it is truly the solution to the health care crisis for
many patient groups and some of you thinking that it is the solution of the
future and always will be. Again, we
will see.
As
always, your comments are welcome.
