Having young sons allows me to watch superhero movies and play on the PlayStation, and I can call it <em>parenting<\/em>, not <em>procrastinating<\/em> or <em>wasting time<\/em>! \u00a0Anyway, while I enjoyed the Batman movie, I was disturbed by one of Batman\u2019s new tricks. During some of the chase scenes, which take up most of the film, Batman managed to disable all of the electrical equipment around him using some kind of frequency.\u00a0 Since in this movie, unlike most Bond films and previous Batman films there weren\u2019t many explanations about the new gadgets being used, it\u2019s hard to now how the gadget worked. The reason it disturbed me was because I kept thinking about my insulin pump.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What if someone with diabetes, a pumper, was nearby? Would his pump be disabled? Would it come back to life or would he need a replacement, the <a href=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/michael\/blogs\/insulin-pumps\/button-error-on-my-insulin-pump-will-medtronic-come-through\/29852\/\">way I needed one after going through the x-ray machine at the airport<\/a>? \u00a0For some reason this line of thought did not leave my mind for a few days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This morning while running by myself, again I started to think about Batman\u2019s gadget, realizing that there are people out there with much bigger problems than my pump. I mean, what would it do to a pacemaker? This very cool gadget that turned off city lights could kill innocent people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I know it\u2019s only a movie, and that Batman, even as the dark night, certainly wouldn\u2019t risk innocent people\u2019s lives. What I really want to know is do other people think this way? Do others have an ever present anxiety that the thing, the device, they count on for survival could be destroyed at the press of a button?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
