Apps Aim to Detect Cancer

      This article really shows how much the world is relying on technology.  It is quite scary actually.  Apps are being created to tell you information what once only doctors were able to tell you.  Yes, the app creators are saying this is not to take the place of a real doctor but I'm sure many people will go solely on the app as their form of healthcare.  Apps can save people time especially with some of the month long wait lists that exist to schedule appointments and money but is that worth actual correct results and your life?  I don't think so.

      Everyone knows the worst thing to do when you have a symptom of any kind is to NOT look online.  Online will list hundreds of things that can be wrong with you and when in fact 9 times out of 10 those hundreds of diagnosis' will be incorrect.
      Only doctors are able to detect diseases and diagnose symptoms.  We must remember that and not get caught up in the cheaper and easier access of the apps.  This is your life and you cannot trust a $5 app with it.  I know I don't and won't.
