Thermometers have been undergoing a revolutionary change, albeit at a slow pace, since decades. We, as common people, do not apprehend this change because of our ignorance of such progress and developments in science and technologies that cater to health benefits. This is because we do not like to fall ill and therefore we never spend a lot of time discussing or knowing how things are changing around us. However, we all fall ill sometime or the other and that is when we start a rapid “search and retrieve” operation to get rid of our illness. It was only at that time that we appreciate the progress made by science and technology in the health sector and their contribution to the community.
