Regional Health Highlights

As “The Future of Healthcare” established, the medical world has changed dramatically in a short amount of time. It’s hard to imagine crude practices that existed a century ago, like bloodletting and asthma cigarettes, in comparison to the treatments of today’s digital world. This time of change has significantly improved humans’ overall quality of life in 2023. Four indicators of this improvement are life expectancy, infant mortality, literacy and poverty.

Can you have it all when producing displays?

An old adage states: Cost, quality, speed — you can have two. This statement addresses the fundamental tradeoffs one often has to make when evaluating purchase options. For example, anyone who has shopped for an automobile knows that a durable, well-constructed vehicle with class-leading 0-60 time often comes at a high price point. This cost/quality/speed balancing act applies to buying most goods, and often the summation of these three characteristics translates to value. Buying decisions usually happen when consumers feel they’re getting good performance and good quality at a reasonable price.
