I can't remember a time when there was this much bad news out there! Wildfires, financial catastrophe, hurricanes - it just doesn't stop!
Thankfully, I had something of an epiphany last night as I was driving in my car listening to radio news. There was a 30 second news story about a new tuberculosis detection system that had been developed with military funding, and was now being developed for medical use.
Then the station went back to describing the conflagration of wildfires in Southern California. And I thought, "Wait a minute!" That little piece about the new medical device is more significant than that. In fact, there are about a half-dozen technology news items that come out in a single day, and they never fail to be about new discoveries or processes that could someday make our lives much better and easier. Sooner or later, all these discoveries are going to add up to a much more tech-enriched existence for all of us, far outweighing the momentary bad news that the media focus on. Isn't THAT good news?

For those hit by wildfires, here’s a tip. When California was hit by wildfires this summer, as Contra Costa Times journalist Janis Mara reported, many homeowners got an AspenAir Inside home air cleaning unit to quickly removed the smoke that came inside. It removed the tiny, dangerous RSPs that go deep in the lungs to exacerbate asthma, allergies and other respiratory diseases. Those most at risk are infants, the elderly (less lung capacity), work-at-homes and those who already have breathing problems.
