New Google Wristband Detects Cancer!

In a recent article by Williams Pelegrin, a new wristband is said to be under development by Google. Now this wristband, if successfully created, will be able to detect cancer cells in a person's body. Furthermore, it is said that the wristband would be able to gather all infected cells and generate energy to the blood vessels, to either modify or destroy those cancer cells. The article goes on to further explain that this band, or at least, the technique used in the band, could also be used for other diseases, such as HIV. I think that this is a marvelous idea by Google. But, due to the recent flop of Google Glass and a whole list of other Google products, I can't help but ask myself, can we really get our hopes up for such a wristband? What do you think?

    1. I agree, but with everything there are side effects (just look at chemotherapy).

  2. If such a device exist and are able to execute the function to which it was invented, google should be applauded for their innovation. Additionally, it will be a plus for humanity. However, the condom industry will go out of business with the advent of such a device.
