Abstract
The world is changing very fast. The digital revolution has changed many perspectives. The skill which we learned over the years may not be relevant in the upcoming era. Factual knowledge is losing its charm. Sophisticated instruments may change the role of a Doctor from Operator to Supervisor. On one side we are changing the curriculum from traditional to integrate and on other side we are producing super-specialist, which compartmentalizes the human body and so cannot see a human being as a whole. We are depending more upon the instruments than communication. The digital world has reduced interaction between the people. The skill which will make Doctors superior than instruments will be communication. And also communication is two way traffic; not one way!
