Technology

Technology has so many benefits. My mom had open heart surgery this last summer. If it weren't for technology, she probably would not be around today. So I see firsthand the many benefits of technology. The world is at our fingertips, literally. We can access information and talk to anyone from anywhere in the world. Having said how convenient and amazing technology is, it is also frustrating for people who have to learn how to use it. This class has definitely opened my eyes to the many new uses for technology, but has made me cringe when I have to try to understand how it all works. I am trying hard, but am still grasping to figure it all out. Good thing I'm not going to be a rocket scientist, but I better know how to use technology in case one of my students want to be.

I agree that in the medical world, technology has brought us great advances. I also have seen first hand technology at work inthe medical field. In the regular world thoug it scares me. It just is so easy for people to get a hold of information. I love the fact that I can email my close friends and talk with them though they are miles away. It keeps us in touch. Or that I can texted them in the middle of class when we need a laugh! I hate, though, that the preditors out there have such an easy entrance into peoples lives. Theres always gonna be someone out there to ruin it isn't there :)
