How Has Technology Changed Over The Years

A dramatic transformation in the advancement of technology has continued to evolve since the 1950’s. As computers started out, they were very expensive to make, they were slow and the computers were very basic. Now in days people can carry computers in their backpack but in the 90s, the computers would take up a whole room. The reason their computers were so large was because they required magnetic drums to store memory for the computer and vacuum tubes as switches and amplifiers. Today, these devices are built into our computers and other time they made them more compact. Also, as time went on, we received faster and more advanced technology. We are still using computers from the 1950s today; they are just highly advanced versions of their

Technology has changed drastically from the 1970s to now. We have exceeded what most people back then could ever imagine. The technology used in schools, homes, and in public places has evolved into technology that makes the “cutting edge” technology of the 70s look very simple. Things such as the personal computer, the cell phone, electronic games, TVs, and even watches have changed completely. The ways that they have exceeded expectations is truly unbelievable.

Technology has changed remarkably over the last one hundred years. First, the way that we use books has changed. Another way is the way we play games. The way we communicate with each other has changed drastically over the last century as well. At this rate, with technology growing every day, we can see the “new” technology that we have right now is already being replaced with something else that is “new.”

An external strength is the availability of new technology in the workplace. There are many emerging technologies that will change the practice of nursing in the coming decade including genetics and genomics, less invasive and more accurate tools for diagnosis and treatment of diseases, 3-D printing, robotic simulations, biometrics, electronic health records, and even computerized physician order sets (Huston, 2013). This skill set is forecasted to become even more essential in the coming years. One goal identified in the Healthy People 2020 initiatives is use of health information technology to improve population health outcomes and health care quality, and to achieve health equity (Healthy People 2020, 2012).

Technology plays a big role in the field of nursing. In the article “Nursing” author Diana V. Cantu interviewed Stephen Ankiel, a registered nurse who’s been in the area for over five years. One of the questions she asked him was “ what kind of technology do you use in your everyday job?” Ankiel answered “ I use computers, electronic medical records software, general medical equipment, ventilators, and medical dispensing systems just to name a few”. Technology is an important factor of society and the grand majority of careers. This tool has helped improve the modern world because It

For society in general, and especially for physicians and the medical care industry, technology has driven vast changes in the healthcare environment. Computers were available 20 years ago, the MacIntosh had developed a bit, PCs were using better technology, but the Internet and massive memory and processing availablity for the general public had not

Technology impacts the industry as it eliminates repetitive and mundane tasks, accomplish regulatory work, provide more efficient use of space, improve the environment of care and provide access to resources, therefore improving safety and efficiency. As technology reduces the time wastage, nurses now have more direct care time and safer care. The development of technology has affected the nurses and the wider community as monitoring devices with nurse call systems have the capability to provide alerts when problems are imminent. Technology that enable timely tracking, acquisition of equipment, supplies and people, reduce delays in care. The improved technologies that provide communication in which prioritise messages and requests as a way to enable responses to patients, which improves the safety of patients. The Healthcare environment is potentially becoming virtual as many mobile devices have moved care outside hospitals, which adds to patient convenience for monitoring chronic and acute conditions.

Without our improvements in technology, doctors would not be able to search for problems in the body through medical imaging such as MRI’s and CT scans. Our generation is also able to self-diagnose problems now with the help of technology. WebMD is at the click of the button to help figure out what is wrong with us before we travel to the doctor for guidance. The use of electronic health records also makes it more efficient to search for patient history throughout the hospital database. This not only saves time, but it also provides a strong structure to ensure the health and safety of a patient. Safety is a huge factor when it comes to providing outstanding healthcare. Technology that we had years ago makes no comparison to the technology in healthcare that our generation has now. Machines and healthcare practices have all transformed through the life-changing improvements of technology our generation has made. One article explained how a man named Eddie has a chronic illness called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This chronic illness would usually require the patient to make regular hospital visits to monitor oxygen levels; however this man has a piece of machinery that does it for him. Within minutes, all of his information for the day is sent directly to a nurse’s office miles away to reduce the amount of hospital visits he has to endure (Lambert,

Technology has changed over time. As an engineer, I will consider to have responsibilities for health. Especially on getting better medicines for people. I will be in touch with the Texas medical center to manage the responsibilities.

As we learn more about technology and how it works, there are several questions we must ask ourselves. Does the change in technology help or harm us? Is technology needed to help us grow and succeed in the vast world we live in? I view technology as the edge we need to succeed and compete in this world. Technology is the gateway to new and better things. With technology, we can help people when they are need. In 1981, the first tube baby was born. Now in this present day, doctors and other medical providers help a couple who is trying to have a baby choose the sex, and even the eye color of their baby. Clinical information technologies are impacting nursing practice to help improve the quality of the work that is done in the health profession field.

Over the past years , success has changed in many ways. Over the past sixty years technology has grown , it has taken over many peoples jobs . When you think of technology you probably think of cellphones , computers , and sometimes even social media , but you don’t ever think of people jobs , because honestly you mostly just don’t care , but if it was your job you’d care .

Technology has been rapidly growing since the 20th century. Whether it comes to cars, computers, or even weapons they keep getting more advanced. People rely more and more on technology, they are less capable to face things on their own. Although technology has advanced the capability of learning, it has also increased power for the tyrranic powers, and there's ALWAYS a power hungry leader. Plus everyone nowadays depends on technology. Although the world has changed in many ways, it is my belief that society will use technology for its own mass destruction.

The public is discussing the advancements of technology in the healthcare field daily, focusing on the improvements of technology regarding nurses as a whole. Automatically coming to the conclusion that nurses are going to be without a job because technology will quickly take over. Today’s healthcare advances are causing much controversy regarding the roles of nurses/nursing. Nurses and even ones who are not associated to the healthcare field worry that in the blink of an eye; technology will take over nurses as a whole. As seeing where they are coming from, they must not be aware that there is always going to be a place for a nurse. With some scholars pointing to technology as a replacement for nurses, others point out benefits of these technologies. Ultimately, however, technology will always be incapable of providing the care and attention a nurse can, but technology does help nurses complete their job more effectively through some of these benefits such as, electronic record-keeping, mobile technology, and even emerging technology in the nurse calling system.

The introduction of computer technologies not only dramatically changed the everyday life of humanity, but it has been constantly shaping our present since the invention of the first computing machine and the development of the first informatics technologies. I also believe that the modern technology has revolutionized the way of how the nursing care is delivered today to the clients and continue to shape the nursing process with steady and constant substantial infusions of new materials, techniques and approaches to the everyday nursing practice. For the modern practicing nurse such technologic solutions as

Saint Augustine once said, “What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.” The profession of medicine can be traced back to the 5th century BCE this signifies how important the relationship between a patient and the doctor is. The fact that this profession until now stands out, let alone speaks for itself. The fact that when someone speaks about a doctor that treated them everyone in the room pays their respect. The relationship of a doctor and a patient isn’t something that was recently created, but rather a
