"So, don't be fooled by high-tech gadgetry, high-priced equipment and electronic gadgets with impressive displays. These are just illusions. The real healing comes from nature; it comes from the plants, trees and bushes that you drive by each and every day without a single thought of their healing ability. Real healing potential is not advertised. It's in nature right now; inside you, surrounding you. It is available to you, but it is not advertised, and it is certainly not high tech. Defense against appearance is everything The last mind hack is that appearance is everything." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"The plummeting literacy scores in Japan have been linked to children's declining interest in reading - more than half have no reading habit at all, while time spent on computer games, Internet chatting and other electronic gadgets has soared. The Munich researchers' conclusion was that using home computers for learning improved school performance, but using them for games and gossip had the opposite effect; in school, occasional access to computers led to a slight improvement, but frequent access (several times a week) was linked to even worse performance than no access at all." - Sue Palmer, Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it (Get the book.)

"Miracle makeup products, wrinkle-free clothes, stain-proof carpets, plastic toys and electronic gadgets galore now fill our homes and bring a wealth of convenience, fun and comfort to our lives. But there was an unforeseen dark side, as billions of tons of synthetic substances that never existed in nature before were released into the environment with little understanding about their impacts on the health of people and wildlife. Then, as now, most chemicals were designed for function and efficiency, not health and safety. There was no cause-effect consciousness." - Stacy Malkan, Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry (Get the book.)

"Our lives are cluttered with all sorts of things—clothing, electronic gadgets, tools, videos, and antique collections, to name just a few. The simplicity movement and simplicity circles have grown as a response to a society that seems to be on a continual spending spree. Rather than being part of a back-to-the-woods movement, the desire for simplicity stems from a number of basic ideas. One is that less actually translates into more. If we devote more time to meaningful activities, we'll be less susceptible to the lure of owning the latest expensive gadget, which will be obsolete in a year." - Jack Challem, The Food-Mood Solution: All-Natural Ways to Banish Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Stress, Overeating, and Alcohol and Drug Problems--and Feel Good Again (Get the book.)

"The reason they are living longer, statistically, is that the medical profession is keeping people alive by using powerful medications, electronic gadgets, and surgery; that is, we won't let them die. Before the age of antibiotics, not so long ago, most deaths were due to infectious diseases, especially pneumonia. With the advent of powerful antibiotics that can kill virtually any bacterial organism, people have begun to live longer in larger numbers, and today we have a significant population of people living into their eighties and nineties." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"In talking about medical technology, we mean to include drugs, surgical procedures, medical devices, diagnostic tests, assistive devices, and even lifestyle change strategies, not just electronic gadgets. However, we're not talking about information technologies, like electronic medical record systems, which are generally underused in medicine. Many policy debates on rising health-care costs have largely ignored the necessity of introducing medical advances in a critical, carefully targeted fashion. This is in spite of economists' views that new treatments are a major driver of rising costs." - Richard A. Deyo M.D. M.P.H., Donald L. Patrick, Hope or Hype: The Obsession with Medical Advances and the High Cost of False Promises (Get the book.) "Bandwagons and Competing Agendas As we noted earlier, we use the term technology to refer not simply to electronic gadgets, but to new medical treatments, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, and drugs. We pointed out that there are no defined criteria for designating these technologies as experimental or as standard, nor is there an orderly process for the transition from one category to the other. We're often enthusiastic about treatments that have little scientific support, but careless in supporting treatments with strong support." - Richard A. Deyo M.D. M.P.H., Donald L.
