VII. Summary

New technologiesare usually accompanied by new complaints, such as railway spine in the 19^thcentury and electric allergy in the 20^th century. Nowadays, withmass media and internet, people are increasingly feeling we are veryvulnerable; and due to mismanaged incidents and easily recalled fallibility of experts,people begin to distrust experts, therefore they refuse to start medication incase of being “poisoned”. This environment fosters people to pay more attentionto their health; in turn, to國(guó)家醫(yī)學(xué)考試網(wǎng)o much concerns bring up anxiety, which leads tophysical and mental illnesses. While new technology can improve the quality ofour life, it can also produce adverse effect on our life.
