We celebrate “Human Achievement Hour” by sharing on social media our favorite human achievements that have made life safer, healthier, and happier. During that hour, people are invited to use the hashtag #HAH2018 to tweet examples and photos to @ceidotorg. In the words of CEI President Kent Lassman, “Human Achievement Hour challenges people to celebrate human ingenuity and our ability to solve problems creatively.” The celebration of Human Achievement Hour has spread over the years, and now “people around the world pay tribute to human ingenuity and advancements in every field from health and energy to communications and transportation,” Lassman says. And this year, we are on the cusp of what could be one of the greatest of human achievements: the blockchain. An article on Medium.com notes that blockchain achieves the seemingly contradictory goals of enhanced data security and privacy and quick accessibility to medical records by authorized medical professionals.
