Technology innovations
What happened with the promotion of certain technology innovations that are not reaching the whole society?In the video that we saw last class there where a lot of things that where very innovative and interesting but, are they for everyone that wont to use it? How we can subsidize them so everyone can benefit. What do you think about a subsidy from the users of this technology or form the manufacturers or even in some cases from the government to make them more accessible.

Marina,
You bring up some great points. When looking at new technologies that will benefit the health sector, it is easy to forget about the millions of people who barely have access to any technology at all. Many of which don't even have clean water or food. Its crazy how some parts of the world can be so advanced while other parts are just barely living.
You are right, often times it's the poorest communities who are unaware of advances and therefore do not lobby for the right to access and benefit from the advances.
