Life is prosperous and now we do have ultra modern health facilities, Isnt it that the life expectancy of humans has increased much as compared to the good olden days full of diseases and misery. The technology has brought about a revolution in health and well being. Dont you think so?

hello dhawanbm,
I don't think so. We indeed have a very modern facilities and high technology, but our life span lessen. Because of this too much high technology we're having right now, we're more suffering from a lot of sickness because of the food we're are taking. Unlike before the old times, such kind of medicines are not necessary, herbal medicines will do but now even the modern one will not totally cure us. If you don't have money now a days, you will die right there and then. Only those people who can afford will live.

I don't think so, my friend. Life is so short today. Even the modern medical facility is created. Span of life is not change. God, knows when we die. If God's will we are die, we are die. There is no span of life,that will be. The bible, says that life will become shorter in the coming days. Read about the history in the bible. Read about the life span of person there. It slowly go down right? Therefor, medical modern facility is not helpful for us to have long span of life...

I think its decreasing. Most people are still healthy, can hear well, have better eye sight at the age of 70. But then if we will compare it to our oldies now, most of them are suffering from diabetes, hypertension and many lifestyle related diseases. We know that there is advance technology now when it comes to the medicine world, but its not the best way to fight diseases. The best way is to eat healthy, live healthy.
How can we eat healthy if most of the veggies sold at the market is not organic? And take note, we are so used eating instant pack foods high in preservatives that makes us ill. its not natural, and there are a lot of drinks available in the market and we snob the clean water.
Happy mylotting and smile always!

Well the technology has improved much , but the same technology is spoiling our lifetime. Advanced technologies comes for one advantage and has some disadvantes make environment destruction. So far the latest medical applicatons can do well but increasing the lifetime of humans is something wonderful and fascinating.
