Pros And Cons Of Robosourcing

Infectious epidemics and pandemics have happened all through mankind's history. “They remain the prime cause of death worldwide and will not be conquered during our lifetimes.” The flu of 1918 was one of the deadliest epidemics in history. “It infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide–about one-third of the planet’s population at the time–and killed an estimated 20 million to 50 million victims. More than 25 percent of the U.S. population became sick, and some 675,000 Americans died during the pandemic.” No one knew how the virus spread, there were no antibiotics to fight it, and no flu shots to prevent it. In the final year of World War I, it struck terror in the hearts of people all across Europe and left more death in its wake than the combined military actions of the combatants. “It killed more Americans in a few months than World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the

The medical industry has made a lot of progress in the 21st century with robots. The CT scanner, the Aethon TUG, Bestic and Cosmobot to entertain children just to name a few. All of these robots have boosted the amount of time a doctor can spend with its patients by over 35%.

No matter how many people do claim overpopulation is not a relevant issue, it very much is because of the simple fact that starvation and pollution are very real and existing issues that are ultimately offset by overpopulation. In an article titled “Overpopulation Is Not the Problem,” author Erle C. Ellis uses the analogy “Like bacteria in a petri dish, our exploding numbers are reaching the limits of a finite planet, with dire consequences,” to argue that overpopulation is not a problem by stating the opposing claim. “We are nothing like bacteria in a petri dish,” Mr. Ellis solemnly asserts, “...these claims demonstrate a profound misunderstanding of the ecology of human systems. The conditions that sustain humanity are not natural and never have been. Since prehistory, human populations have used technologies and engineered ecosystems to sustain

Over the last few years, technology has changed tremendously and it has definitely influenced almost every area in the healthcare setting. Modernized technological advancements in healthcare have come a long way in terms of enhancing and delivering patient care. Not only does new technology in healthcare affect patient care, it also affects nurses, doctors and specialists. Updated technology is being integrated in nursing due to the increase of medication errors, lack of patient safety and to increase the quality of patient care. Robotics is an example of one of the emerging technology that has significantly impacted the future of medicine especially in nursing. The increase usage of robotics has been seen due to many healthcare worker shortages,

A huge technology revolution is freely replacing millions of robots instead of humans. As in today we have a few machines that do our daily jobs. Some of the technology that are being placed with humans are ATM Machines instead of tellers, auto manufactures which is an automotive industry that develops cars, travel agents, cashiers, transportation and material moving, production, medicine and services. Very soon, people will realize that the very thing they created to make life easier is creating a life of its own. Computers have become a species that no one has yet realized. Here are a few examples on how technology is taking over with our working field. As you know El Centro California has two hospitals in Imperial Valley. But one of these hospitals has a robotic hand called Da Vinci. Da Vinci is a Robotic system that works as an extension of the surgeon who uses computer controlled instruments to operate through tiny openings in the body. But here is the bad thing about having instruments that do surgical procedures on a human, because unlike a human doctor, who can detect or feel things with their eyes, ears or

Within the medical profession there, are many areas where the desired equipment can be used in many different ways. Amputees can use mechanical prosthetics. Nurses have explored the idea of using robots to increase the quality of care that is given to different types of patients whether they are critical or present a bio hazard of some sort. The physicians are more of a special case given that their usage of these robotics deals with extensive research and re-education. This creates a whole new market where only the most qualified of physicians can truly begin to make their mark with a more advanced skill set that can only cause a higher demand.

Throughout human history, population growth is one of the most important topics brought into discussion. Globally, there are about 7.2 billion people in the world, and it will rise up to 11 billion or more by the 21st century (Brown). When we look back in the history, population growth has been so slow as to be imperceptible within a single generation, “Reaching a globally population of 1 billion in 1804 required the entire time since the humans appeared on the scene. To add the second billion, it took until 1927, just over 100 years. Thirty- three years later, in 1960, world population reached 3 billion” (Brown 15). Then the pace sped

I have noticed a lot of new technology in the medical field that interests me very much. Next year I plan to go college and further my education by becoming an Anesthesiologist so all of the new technology will greatly affect me. Another reason they fascinate me so much is because I have had a surgery on a robotic machine called the “Da Vinci”. Type 1 diabetes vaccines, liquid biopsies, horizon scanners, and robotic surgeries are all major advances in the past five years alone. These surgeries contribute to society by saving more lives, more efficiently, and more effectively. They don’t run the risk of human error and emotion. This could cause a problem with some people unfortunately. The robots could put some lab techs, and nurses out of work

Why do people even need surgeons when people have technology? No matter how much technology they have, we will always need surgeons. How many people would feel comfortable knowing a robot is doing their surgery and not a human? Not many people would be comfortable knowing just a robot is doing their surgery, but surgeons sometimes use technology when doing a surgery. Although surgeon sometimes use technology while doing a surgery, the surgeon is always controlling the technology. Becoming a surgeon can be very rewarding, but they have to go through many years of schooling although all the schooling pays off because of the salary and job outlook.

In the United States, robot-assisted surgery currently is performed at more than 2000 hospitals. Growth in hospital ownership of robotic systems parallels the increase in the volume of robotic-assisted procedures, which is in excess of 25% annually [1,3]. This growth has been driven by multiple factors: surgeons’ preference, patient attraction to new technology, industry pressures, and marketing efforts of hospitals and surgeons. Doctors and hospitals often promote and advertise robotic surgery, even though their claims of better outcomes and safety [4,5] remain largely unsubstantiated.

The nurse's role today is so much easier and different than it was a mere twenty or even ten years ago. An arsenal of technology has crept into certain health-care institutions, and these convert the nurse's once tedious and laborious role into one that more closely resembles science-fiction. One such amazing creation is the health care delivery robot that is described in this essay.

In modern medicine, robotic surgery has become a new and exciting technology in the surgical profession. At Rivers Medical, marketing and public affairs director Belinda Sheldon and media specialist Rick Stallings were attending a meeting about the acquired purchase of the da Vinci robot to assist doctors to perform surgeries. Initially the idea came about three years ago. The hospital administrators along with the surgeons, the robotic program managers, the operating room nurses and staff discussed the training it would take to effectively utilize the robot. The hospital CFO reported the cost of the robot to be $1.5 million, with $140,000 budgeted for the annual service contract. The hospital expected to spend about $1,500 yearly for the robot replacement parts and $40,000 for marketing to promote the robot. (Cellucci et al., 2014).

Human population growth is becoming a huge issue in our world today. The population is increasing rapidly. The reason that it is becoming a concern is because it has affected the economic, environmental, and social aspects of our world. In the film Frontline: Heat, we can see how there might not be a future for our planet unless we are able to reduce the emissions and make our world a safe place. Not only for the present but also for future generations so that they are able to live long and healthy lives.

Today, by no means it is certain our society has the capacity to ensure that the nine billion people expected population on earth by 2050 would all be able to achieve a basic quality of life. The earth’s ecosystem is deteriorating and the climate is changing. We are consuming so much, and so quickly, that we are already living far beyond the earth's capacity to support us. And yet, nearly a sixth of our fellow humans go to bed hungry each day: both an unnecessary tragedy and a source of social and political unrest. Meanwhile, our globalized world is more interconnected and volatile than ever, making us all more vulnerable.

As our global population count continues to exponentially climb, many people are under the impression the world is overpopulated. A lot of society wonders how we will be able to sustain such a large population. An overpopulated planet could cause or enhance problems such as natural resource depletion, global climate change, and starvation. The majority of people believe overpopulation is our world’s most crucial problem, including me. Or at least I did before I read What to Expect When No One is Expecting. This book definitely made me think twice.
