The Healthy Balance Breakfast Shake

Now “e” is the symbol of a whole new way of communicating, it’s not just a letter anymore it is a way of life! Just for starters we have: e-mail, e-books, e-commerce, e-trades, e-tickets, e-claims, e-bills, e-cards, e-loans, e-communications, e-learning, e-payments, e-business and of course e-bay.
The basic meaning of the “e” is electronic, however the actual impact it has on a business process is e-normous.
Today most people are familiar with e-mail. It is very easy to see how e-mail is superior to paper mail, which computer snobs now routinely call snail mail (s-mail). E-mail is fast, cheap and convenient. E-mail travels from the sender to the recipient instantaneously.
Once the technology and Internet connection is in place the cost of sending an e-mail posting is nothing, no hard copies are needed, no envelopes, no stamps, and a reply can be sent quickly with the click of a mouse.
All of the obvious advantages of e-mail are equally applicable to all the other e-applications. Another advantage of e-applications is that they can be set up once and then they will automatically continue to operate with no additional human effort. On great example of this is Smile Reminder at www.smilereminder.com [1]. Another e-service company I think has some good features is Dental Sesame at www.dentalsesame.com. [2]

I have been hearing about this for years. My friend Dale Miles started work on this concept almost twenty years ago. Now a true hand held x-ray unit is here. Well it isn’t really here it is in Korea. A company named Osstem (linked here) [1] has working models they showed at the Greater New York meeting. The product is not available for US distribution, in fact the English version of the company web page doesn’t even have it listed.
There are two models, the DX3000 shown here which is an x-ray generator only and the ADX4000 which includes a corded EV2 sensor and an LCD screen for immediate viewing. The quoted price was $15,000. Both units, particularly the 4000 seemed a little heavy (1.8kg) for practical use.
Anyway it is an amazing product that we may see in our offices in the near future.
