Speaking of medical history. The day will come in the not too distant future, that we will all be carring around our history (with MRI scans, x-rays etc.) on our own smart cards. Right now the specialist you go to may not have instant access to your records if they are from another health care system. This system works in many countries that have National Health systems such as Great Britain. Our privacy laws are much stricter but it would be a good thing in my opinion.
