This was the second part of a series looking at how technological innovations are changing humanity. The first part was devoted to how amazing things were being achieved. This part, which can be viewed or read as a transcript, shows the bad things that can happen. For example, many pacemakers are connected to the Internet and can therefore be manipulated by hackers.

I'd like to say there was this huge insightful reason but it was mainly because I found this part of the program to be more interesting to read. I looked for a way to post both programs together but, since I could only pick one, I went with the one talking about internet trolls going around trying to give people seizures and unplugging people's pacemakers through their computers. Anyway, there already seemed to be a few articles and resources posted here about the positives of medical technologies.

Thanks for that! It just struck me as I was looking at them that people seem to look at the downside of technological change - but I suppose that's explained by the old newspaper slogan, "if it bleeds, it leads". aa
