Let me start out by saying technology has come a long way since I was born. Technology is constantly changing always having something new to introduce or make.How has technology shaped my life? How has it not. When I was little we did not have computers. They came out in the 1980's. Cell phones also came out about then. Let me tell you they were not the sleek and small ones we have now . Cell phones were big and clunky. Cameras are also another invention that keeps changing. Today we have 8.0 mega pixel digital camera's. Back in the 70's-80's we had camera's that used 110 film and 35mm camera's. When I was young the biggest video game system was Atarii. Now we have every thing from nintendo to playstation's.In todays society we all look at the next big thing whether we can afford it or not is another question. With my major being in nursing I'll talk about how technology has changed in that field. First until the 1970's there was not a ct(computerized tomography) machine. Today I do not know how hospitals figured out when someone had a stroke or a PE (pulmonary embolism). Medication's are also different way back when nurses had to do math to figure out how much medicine to give a patient. Now in today's society we have everything basicaly pre measured.We have little devices that cut the pills in half if needed. Nurses go to a pyxis to withdraw medicine or take a syringe and draw the amount of medicine needed to the line it needs to be at. Technology is everywhere we look, whether it be from the telivision to our stereo's even our cd players to the mp3 plyers to the ipods.Take the car for instance look at when it first came out in the early 1900's.Ford was the first corporation to make a car. Cars today are so fancy and expensive .Technology is also linked with pop culture. When something new comes out people will wait outside for day's just to get the new hot item.Technology keeps on changing for the better of course whether people like it or not and are ready or not because here it comes..

Technology is everywhere, and it is here to stay. I agree whether or not we like it, it's here to stay. Every day there is some sort of new technology about to emerge into our society.
"First until the 1970's there was not a ct(computerized tomography) machine. Today I do not know how hospitals figured out when someone had a stroke or a PE (pulmonary embolism)."
Talk a little about this. First, what is a CT machine? What do you mean by "today, I do not know how hospitals figured out when someone had a stroke or a PE." Why do you not know how?
I never thought about how much technology has improved the health of everyone. A friend of mine uses AutoCAD drafting on the computer to model parts for medical equipment in real time when the engineers need something changed. Its a much faster process than trying to build a model every time they need to visualize something.
well, it looks amazing that we get technology here and there. i don't realize that we have been surrounded by them. in daily life, in some high-tech area...wow.
by the way, my mom is a doctor, so i can understand what u say bout the chang in your feild. we have those machine u said for sure, but some of our docter can do it without machine, they can know what's wrong with patient from their experience.
