The Semi Ecosystem, Where from Here, Utilization Key to Human Progress, Dangers

[Arthur Hanson]

The semi ecosystem has become the key to human progress at all levels. Semis of all types have lowered the cost of research dramatically from sensors, controls, lab and test equipment of every type and description to computational resources. Combine this to collaborate on a worldwide scale the net has brought to collaboration and you have to keys to ever accelerating progress. But just like any other power it is subject to abuse and even outright fraud. Earlier this year I published a forum in a high end business publication after they reviewed it for six weeks on the severe problems with US medical and when I went back to the web found much had been scrubbed or greatly pushed down in searches at what must have been great cost. This shows the double-edged sword of applying advanced technologies to collaboration and how we must adapt to using them. Our modern ecosystems are like any other, great promise is also subject to abuse and careful judgement must be applied to any actions. Carefully curated sites with a dedicated user base as SemiWiki, offer the best solution in curation and discourse to get the most accurate information and results. Carefully choosing the best models and sites will be key in anybody that wants to use the resources we are now learning to work with. One this is certain is that progress in just about everything both good and bad is accelerating at an ever-increasing rate and ever greater care and procedures must be used. Trust is everything and must only be given when earned. Just as the sophistication of everything is advancing so are scams and fraud.

Can you elaborate on this?

Can you elaborate on this?

US medical consumes twenty percent of every dollar and delivers 37th in the world quality(shortly after publishing a major effort at scrubbing the web was made by the industry). Canada ranks 30th in quality at half the cost. Canada bans drug advertising since the average person, even the average physician doesn't have the time or skill set to choose the best drug for a condition, they have this done by a board of the best physicians in each field pick the best drugs. The US as everyone can't escape spends a fortune on advertising to a public that has no qualifications. Also, an individual or small medical practice has no economies of scale and should only exist in the smallest of towns. Just as drugs are chosen, so should platforms that could sharply reduce the forty percent of their time doctors spend on diagnostics. It is not hard to see the waste, inefficiency and outright fraud in US medical. I have recently had a doctor give me blatantly false information and this is after I told him I am a researcher in applying technologies to business in handling my stock accounts. Just look how much the US wastes in advertising, distribution, applying technology efficiently and effectively and it's staggering. We can't wait until US medical consumes even more than the twenty cents of every dollar it consumes now if the US wants to stay a viable competitor on the world stage.

This is an ideal market for the tech sector as chips can see far better and over a much wider spectrum than any doctor. Advanced vision, ultrasound, low power x-rays and MRIs are all coming down in cost while increasing performance. This is all true of data bases that can accumulate data from literally millions of sources and update in real time. It is way past time to massively reform medical as our population ages needing more care. Automating large swaths of medical to increase quality and lower costs should be goal of the tech sector by overcoming special interests that don't have that increasingly only represent themselves. The current low combination of lower quality and ever higher costs are becoming the greatest threat to the US economy and the country itself. Most empires collapse from the inside and right now US medical is our greatest threat. Apple increasing its penetration into medical is our best hope. The have the heft and intelligence to radically reform a very, very sick system that threatens everyone.

How did "...when I went back to the web found much had been scrubbed or greatly pushed down in searches at what must have been great cost." occur?

I'm not sure what your referring to, google rankings?

 

[Arthur Hanson]

The google rankings I'm refering to are where the information one is seeking is buried several pages back in the search results, so it is much more difficult to find for anyone trying to access it. Also, the current information comes up as showing an entirely different result as previously shown and the original result buried many, many pages back. It's a form of gaming the system I have seen previously. Much of this can be done many ways including bots. An industry that takes in two trillion in excess money can afford to twist and manipulate laws, regulations and information to serve its own ends and not the benefit of the whole.
