Blessing.  Certainly there are problems to solve, but those problems will be solved by further technology, not by banning what we already have.  \n\nIt would be possible to provide a long list of the benefits of technology in the modern world, but I will cite a single example:  modern communication technology allows me, a complete stranger, to answer your question.  We never had anything in the past like the information tool we have now in the internet.  No matter how good a library one had available, it would still take a lot of time and know-how to research every question.  Now, it's all here at your fingertips.\n\nAsk any modern physician how many of his patients would have been worse off ten years ago, let alone fifty.  Ask any research scientist what has happened in his field as a result of modern technology.  The world does not stand still, and we cannot make it do so.\n\nRemember, nothing is an unmixed blessing.  Certainly the internet brings its own problems, but so did the technology of the crossbow!

I'll get the ball rolling,  hopefully others will follow.\n\nActually, on second thoughts, take a look here instead.\n\nhttp://v3.espacenet.com/eclasrch?ECLA=/espacenet/ecla/a61/a61.htm\n\nIt is a breakdown of all medical technology into its different subject areas.

look up medline and prepare for the avalanche.\nThe national institute of health site is good too. \nNational Cancer Institute\nDr koop and Dr. gabe Mirkin's sites are more readable (less technical), but will not have as much information.\nGoogle will deliver many sites too.\nDoc. Dan.

There are several topics that have a social impact and comp. sci related:\n\n1) Open source technologies and how they are benefitting/harming business, society, culture. \n\n2) Is computer science an elitist science and can it/should it be made more accessible? How would such accessibility be possible?\n\n3) As technologies grow and advance, how are we humans growing advancing? As in, are we changing technology or is technology changing us?\n\n4) What would happen if the entire world could connect to the internet? Would this spread more good or more evil?\n\n5) Why is the pick-up of new technology slow? How come when a better solution exists, people continue to go with the older worse one?\n\n6) Is the emergence of computer technology in every field a good thing? This esp. if people lose their jobs because of computers taking over their work. \n\nI could think of quite a few more, but have to go. \n\nGood luck!

The healthcare industry is nothing but interfaced systems.  The patient care system interfaces with the lab system, the pharmacy system, and the medical record system, just to name a few.\n\nGoof Luck!
