If you are female, you know the pain and discomfort of a pap smear test...If you are male, you're pretty lucky to not have to know what a pap smear is like.
An emerging technology (and one that was presented on today in COM 435) may take some of that pain and discomfort away- yay!

Zilico has come out with a portable pap smear device that sends out a mild electrical current that reads how the current flows through cervical cells. This device provides instant feedback instead of the several week long wait of a normal pap smear. Also, the device checks for cervical cancer- a huge plus, because cervical cancer kills thousands of women each year.
This device looks like a space machine, and may be a little overwhelming for a young women abotu to recieve her first pap. However, if this "space machine" can provide instant feedback for women, why not try it?
