"Technology promises great hopes, but a small error can trigger a great tragedy. Therac-25 is proof of that.

Developed in the 1980s for cancer treatment, the Therac-25 delivered 100 times the normal radiation to patients due to a software error.

Between 1985 and 1987, at least 6 patients were seriously injured because of this error. Some even died from radiation burns.

Therac-25 showed how critical safety is in medical devices. This incident completely changed software standards.

Therac-25 serves as a warning about the power and risks of technology. Remember, every innovation requires great responsibility."
