There are things like FitBit that monitors heartrate and activity. TabSafe is a medication management system that reminds, dispenses, alerts and posts information on compliance to your doctor without making a phone call. “TV Ears” helps people with hearing loss hear the television clearly without turning up the volume. “Smart refrigerator” can detect your food is getting old or if you’re out of a frequently used item, show you the weather and incoming calls eliminating the need to run to the phone unnecessarily. These types of technology products help make independent living for the older generation easier and safer.
The Internet Web 1.0 worked on an interruption/disruption model. For example, television suddenly disrupts your scheduled programming to provide paid commercials from sponsors. In today’s world with Web 2.0, the current web environment is an interactive social system (Solomon, 2015, Unit 1). People are constantly connected through their PCs, phones, and tablets. They can connect their TVs to the Internet now for streaming video. Audio can be downloaded through iTunes and other such platforms with the click of a button. Looking to the future, wearable technology is becoming a trend. Fitbits can clip on your clothes or strap to you wrist to track your activity for the day and give data for how many calories you should be consuming based on that amount of exercise. Google has dabbled in wearable technology with Google Glass. These glasses have a processor that can project your apps into the lens. Apple just debuted their iWatch last week, which was reported as costing between about $400 and $17,000. People will pay for this technology, which keeps them connected to their home, work, and social network at all times.

To be honest before filling out this application I had never heard of the National Federation of Independent Business. Since then I have done my research and believe I have a grasp of who the NFIB is and what they stand for. Being a small businesses owner and coming from a family of small business owners, I appreciate the efforts of the NFIB.
We rely on our technology way to much. The first thing we do is check our phones, either for alarm or for messages, we don’t leave the house without our phones and
Cutting edge technology like household sensors grow to learn the habits of a senior to ensure they are doing well. If the system doesn’t register the senior moving from their bedroom at a certain hour or other daily routines, an alert will go out to notify proper responders. In other areas of need, Selfhelp understands the importance of interaction. That’s why their Senior Source technology transports seniors into classrooms and activities with skilled teachers and other seniors. By doing so, everyone is able to socialize and think
What does a builder, manufacturer, and software company owner all have in common? The ability to work together to gain the experience, insight, and wisdom to help each other obtain success in their individual businesses, all while improving their work-life balance.
Currently the biggest areas being telehealth for the elderly are diabetic control, heart monitoring, and standard daily vitals. The most interesting piece of equipment used to monitor these is the Healthstats watch (Bartz, 2014). The Healthstats watch monitors pulse, heart rate, O2, sleeping statistics, and patient activity. The only issue that most manufacturers have come across is monitoring blood pressure with a watch because of how much power it consumes.

The advance in technology is so fascinating. We live in a world of smart phones and computers. The advancement in technology is enabling providers to reach out to those who would normally not seek traditional health care settings, especially the millennium population. A quick google search using key words smartphones and healthcare provides a wealth of information related to some of the up and coming ways healthcare providers are instituting.
The map shows Auroral activity pattern. There seems to be a pattern on the map in Tromsø, Norway and Reykjavik, Iceland, northern horizon, Umea, Sweden, Trondheim, Norway, and the Faeroe Islands, Denmark. Accordingly, it predicts little Auroral activity on that particular day. My hypothesis why that pattern would occur is because of the longer daylight and low solar activity. After seeing this map, I have the following research questions “is Auroral activity good for our earth and what is its indication to our planet by the amount of Auroral activity?”
Insurance, most notably health insurance, has become a major part of the American lives. Health will always be a major concern for people, so health insurance would be the most bought insurance. Sometimes people get sick unexpectedly, people will usually be thankful that they have insurance but not really know how their insurance works. It is imperative to know how one’s insurance works so one can pick the best plan that will benefit them without being overcharged for services that they do not need. There are three types of insurance plans that are widely used by health insurance companies. They are: FFS (Fee-For-Service Plan), HMO (Health Maintenance Organization), and PPO (Preferred Provider Organization). FFS plans is a little older than the managed care plans, HMO’s and PPO’s, however they are still used today. HMO’s and PPO’s are the most popular health insurance plans used by the insurance companies.
At least 50,000 kids attending the many residential Quranic faculties, or daaras, in Senegal are subjected to conditions similar to slavery and made to endure oftentimes extreme kinds of abuse, neglect, and exploitation by the teachers, or marabouts, who constitute as their factual guardians (“Off the Backs of the Children” 2010). By no means do all Quranic faculties run such regimes, however several marabouts force the talibés, to beg on the streets for long hours—a system that meets the International Labor Organization’s definition of a worst form of child labor—and subject them to generally brutal physical and psychological abuse. The marabouts are grossly negligent in fulfilling the children’s basic essentials, such as food, shelter, and health care, despite adequate resources in most urban daaras, brought in primarily by the children themselves.
Sgraffito comes from the Greek word graphein, “to write,” but is commonly referred from the Italian word graffiare, “to scratch.” Sgraffito represents a painting technique used in wall décor by scratching through a darker layer of plaster or glaze to reveal a lighter, deeper layer. Additionally, it is also commonly applied in pottery.
