The Coming Medical Revolution
This article is mainly about the authors book which looks into the fact that technology is advancing so fast, that we will eventually be able to digitally look at our bodies and be able to fully look into it and diagnose any abnormalities far easier than we do now. The author discusses several ways technology will greatly benefit human preservation and how he can't wait for that day to come. I enjoyed this article alot i think it is exciting to think that pretty soon most medical problems will be detected and treated at lightning fast speeds due to the advances in technology. The author has a wide range of knowledge but because he is speculating on the future he doesn't really know what is going to happen, but he still has a very good idea and i would be pumped if life turns out how he says. Overall this was a good read and i would recommend it.

Reading Journal III
House of Memory
This article is a sad memory of the times the author spent with her husband before he died of cancer. The article is sort of a collection of flashbacks that the author distinctly remembers of her husband and her daughter. This article was kind of a pointless read. I didn't really learn anything from it and it didn't really have anything to do with health and science. But on the other hand i liked the way the reader started the article with an anecdote, and the way she described in full detail the flashbacks she remembered. Overall i wouldn't really recommend any one read this article it was kind of boring i would more than likely give this a thumbs down.

Reading Journal II
The Fat Trap
This article was about the struggle most people have losing weight and keeping it off. The article discusses several factors that scientist are looking into to that prevent obese people from keeping off the weight they originally lost when they started a weight loss regiment. The article is mainly just shedding some light on the difficulties of loosing a good amount of weight and how difficult it truly is and also dismissing some other factors that people believe make people regain weight that they lost.
I was surprised that the factors i previously thought influenced obesity aren't as responsible as i thought they were. Also I like the fact that the author tied in several real life stories of people trying extremely hard to keep off weight. Overall i think it was a good read and i would recommend it to any one thinking of dropping some lbs.
