Pain Reduction Through Technology

This is a short input about what I've learned over the years about how technology helps to reduce pain. I have what is called a T.E.N.S. (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcutaneous_Electrical_Nerve_Stimulator unit that is designed to help reduce pain in a specific part of your body. It sure helps. Another technological device that I use is a heating pad which without the use of electricity this would not be possible.

We live in a very advanced technological society and take a lot for granted. If we as a nation of people were shut down from our technology we might not be able to function for a while. There is parts of the world where simple technology has not even been introduced.

Be very thankful that the U.S.A. is still running as strong as it has been.
