In this article, Al Gore comes across as a very sharp observer of the power of internet. As expected, internet ( and web 2.0) has evolved along commercial lines. Its time social sector is similarly boosted by intelligent use of the real-time 2-way connectivity provided by the internet.
The scope of using these services in public health is a very fertile field. Education, training, Information, Interpersonal communication, Data gathering, Remote/ Telemedicine, Real time decision support in interventional medicine, Telepathology, Teleradiology, i could go on and on.
