I just heard a report on NPR about the shortage of nurses in hospitals. There is a shortage because, as one nurse said, there are too many patients, and the hospitals are not keeping up. The reason there are more patients is because of the new technology that is keeping people alive longer, even when their health is worse. So technology is working to keep people alive, but no matter how good the technology is, hands on, personal care is still needed to take care of the patients. Get the point?

o the extent that is true, our profession, sadly, is moving downhill 
oward less capability, less willingness to invest effort, and greater 
gnorance.

 And has been proven over and over and over and over and over, ETD 
 tunings are well enough to provide every tuning from the home to 
 universities to symphonies, music studios and more.
ssuming the operator is up to it as well. And to what extent are the 
ymphonies and music studios, etc., just forced to accept who's out 
here for lack of better options?
