When I went to the hospital for a broken bone, I thought this tech was already there since tech was advancing so quickly, going from Pac-Man to Super Mario 64 in 16 years.
My vision:
‘At the very least I’ll get to see a 3D image of my broken bone and maybe there’ll be ‘dentist chair tools’ that can straighten and fill up the bone like a dentist does with your teeth. I mean, we advanced a lot in computer technology right?’
The reality:
‘Here’s your 1950s X-ray picture. You see that Rorschach test blotch? That’s where it’s broken. We’ve done our job, have a good day!.. Your visit is over!.. You can leave now!..’
