Talked to a professor of medicine. Her students easily master tech, tools
But they don't know how to touch appropriately; to guide a patient into a pool for physical therapy. They don't know how to listen, to truly hear what a patient is saying. They don't know how to see, to observe.

All designed by Big Tech to create a society of functioning tech addicts
