      Yes! Technology is getting smaller and smaller, and this means that medical devices are able to get smaller and smaller so eventually you’ll be able to have something tiny that does the same job without a load of aids attached.

      Yeah very much so! Technology is improving all the time. We are able to make components smaller than before but with even greater memory.
