The Emerging Technology that i read about was Neuron Control. It's some kind of light that is shined in the brain making the neurons exposed to light which triggers electrical activity within the cell then to the next neuron in that circuit. In other words if you have depression it will change the activity in your brain causes your symptom to fade away.There already is a treatment called electroconvulsive therapy which can save a person's life, but it has caused memory loss, headaches, and other serious life changing side effects. Some assumptions are, this new technology it can treat psychiatric and neurological disorders; this will be more effective and cause less side effects. What surprised me the most is that the treatment is just the switch of light, who ever knew that light could be the cure to depression,sleeplessness, people who can't eat(not exactly eating disorders.)Some possibilities are finding cures to these disorders without doing anything major or changing your body but has a big impact on your life. When i look back in 2009 i don't believe there were many if any technologies that were considered 'Emerging Technologies.' I hope this technology makes it through to people because i feel like it could really help them and there families. When someone has depression, can't eat, or sleep that doesn't only effect that person but their family as well.This idea was brought up by Karl Deisseroth which is a physician and a bio-engineer.

Theodore Roosevelt River of Doubt story
Theodore Roosevelt the former president was going on a journey to find out what the River of Doubt was and where it was located. After he had lost the election he went on a long journey. For this journey he gathered a couple of men and his son Kermit. Theodore Roosevelt heard about the River of Doubt and the opportunity to explore it was nearly irresistible so he knew he had to go on an expedition with a group of men to explore it. He soon came across many difficulties during this long journey.
Just a few days in this journey Theodore Roosevelt got a cut on his leg from a boulder causing him to get malaria. On this expedition there were many biting bugs that had many diseases and infections carrying along with them. The group of men got to the forest and they thought they would have to separate every man for himself. Through this journey they had pack mules and oxen but none of them ended up surviving due to starvation and heat exhaustion. The canoes they had got from natives didn’t last long they had holes in them and they only floated above water a couple minutes. One of the paddlers died from strong rapids drowning him, the same thing nearly happened to Roosevelt’s son Kermit. Rio da Dúvida was the original name which is translated to the River of Doubt. Theodore Roosevelt said that this journey was this expedition was a chance to prove my strength and reclaim my sense of purpose; it was a chance for redemption.
