"Two recent scientific discoveries mark the latest steps toward the ultimate medical-diagnosis technology: the tricorder."
Not all that recent: The story's from 2007.

Hmmm...that story must have fallen through a rift in time...

I don't know if I should thank you for the link or not... I almost lost my temper in that post. I also feel that there should be a follow up post explaining why exactly the stereotypes are so horrible because I don't think people get it. Either they think it's fiction so it shouldn't matter or they think because only an idiot would believe the stereotypes that having them doesn't do any harm... thing is I don't know that I'm articulate enough to explain it in a way that will make people understand.
Though I put my blog on hiatus for other reasons so maybe later after I've dealt with other things that need to be dealt with in my left I'll come back and try and explain things better...
