| Original uncertainty examples | How will the future technology address issues of isolation in people with mental health issues. I'm not sure an app could ever replace one on one interaction with a human therapist ~ Having a counselor alongside can relieve the isolation while a person works through the difficulty. What does this mean for digital technology? ~ Do people think digital technology can really replace people in a world where many mental health problems already are exasperated by digital exposure and face to face human isolation. ~ Will it mean I don't have to actually go out the house to be diagnosed or to get help? |
