Other than the marketing efforts of ‘big tech’ to embellish apparent breakthroughs to get you to buy small incremental improvements, gadgets and services (TV streaming).
Stay with me as I vent a little to make a point.
You think not! What has this to do with Biology?
The stark reality is our technological advancement has been poor, held back even. The breakthroughs heralded as progress- are unimportant. It is a ‘false narrative’ — faster chips that let…
