I can imagine a day when I visit a doctor he will feed my medical history and illness symtoms to a google like tool and read out the diagnosis.
That is already happening in developed world to a great extent!
Not only in medicine, but everywhere.
A decade back, any component of a car can be repaired by mechanics. Nowadays, they mostly plug the car with a computer, determine what fault code it returns, and then simply replace the faulty component. Just like Lego bricks....
I don't underestimate the power of internet searching but most young people have a tendecy to believe whatever they see on internet as true!
