And now for the health care take on this...as social networks continue to grow, both recreational and business networks, will we someday see the X-Box at the central focus of some professional medical networks...being able to converse via the X-Box...view PACS images on the X-Box for another simple example...in other words does the X-Box have the capability to invade health care...well it's not out of the question, but will somebody do it! We already know that surgeons who play games have increases their motorized hand skills...anyway, this may be a little far fetched for now but who knows when we may start seeing that friendly X-Box appearing at health care facilities some day....some hospitals already have them for patient use.......BD
