Can Technology help us live more naturally?
It’s an odd question – counterintuitive perhaps – but I believe it can.
If we think about a FitBit - one of the most common bits of health tech - what is it doing...?
Getting us to walk or run more. What's more natural than that?
Environment monitoring = healthy Air
Electric Bike = more exercise
Social App = more human connections
Fall Alarm = confidence to get out of the house
Online Learning = curiosity, sense of purpose, active mind
So if Tech can help us, or our parents, be fit, happy, and healthy, then I say "beam me up Scotty" (I really need to update my cultural references).
