Library book
So, I first read the shallows and bored my friends with all my talk about how computers are making us dumber. Then I read Clive Thompson and bored them about how computers are actually making us smarter. Now along comes Nicky with another book and again I have to re-evaluate my position.
I found it amazing that airline pilots who suddenly find themselves having to actually fly the plane when the autopilot malfunctions not really being able to for lack of actual flight experience. And the fact that although your GPS telss you to turn rivht and you see your road on the left you will still turn right totally ignoring the visual clues around you.
In every industry computers, for better or worse, are taking over. In my job they tell you treat the patient not the monitor. And after reading this book I now totally get what tbey mean. We have to be ablre to have a certain degree of skepticism when the visual clues don't mach what the monitor is saying. If nothing else just getting this point was worth the read.
The authors' Google talk gives a great description of the problems with implementation of EMR.
Pg. 189 Drones are good but the military is working in new technology called LAR that will pull the trigger itself based on its own programming and algorithms.
