A new piece of medical equipment is being tested right now called the Pedisedate. Basically, it is a headset that is placed on a child before they are admitted to surgery. The device connects to a Game Boy or portable CD player (yup, not a Nintendo DS or iPod — apparently the Pedisedate also transports you to 1996) and a snorkel-like piece swings forward and is placed over the child’s nose. As the kid plays videogames or listens to music, nitrous oxide, an anesthetic gas, is emitted through the snorkel and puts the child to sleep.
I wonder if the writer realized that he would be transporting future readers to 2009 by referencing a DS and an iPod.
Haha a DS or iPod, not a Nintendo Switch or smart phone.
Welcome back to 2024, time travelers.
Actually, can I just go back to 2009? Or better yet, 1996?
The DS came out in 2004 and the iPod in 2001.
Why did you choose 2009 out of all years? That’s two years after the iPhone came out.
2009 was the date the article was posted.
