During the past five decades the computer has been rapidly advanced. From the first generation to the personal computer, it’s incredible that the speed of computer’s swelling is so fast .It makes people startle. Early computer were of great size, now state-of-the-art personal computers are on the small side and it would be a fantastic experience.
Recent years the personal computer’s commercials are more and more wonderful, different kinds of shapes are cool or cute in order to attract young people and increase their market shares.

We should use the personal computer in right way to make our life more beautiful and contribute to societal well-being.
The Tense Relationship between the Doctor and the Patient Just imagine the doctor and the patient in the inward, both with a cold expression on their faces. They felt dissatisfied at each other. The atmosphere is tense like in the war, in which a conflict can break out at anytime. It’s absolutely not the picture of our expectation but exactly the depiction of the reality that the doctor and the patient are in a tense relationship. But what‘s the cause for the tense relationship? It may come down to three aspects: the unequal status of doctors and patients in this relationship, the lack of interaction between them and the attitudes of theirs. Firstly, the inequality between the doctors and patients means that in the correlation of doctors and patients, the doctors are in a dominant position while the patient in a passive and inferior position. The doctors usually fail to care for the patients’ requirements due to their superior status. Also, the patient’s position can worsen their sense of insecurity, which in turn, leads to their distrust in the doctor. These two factors contribute to the occurrence of the tense relationship. In addition, the lack of interaction between doctors and patients adds to the tense relationship. This largely results from the busy work of a clinical
There are beliefs and assumptions that can hinder the ability of physicians to build proper relationships with the patient. For me personally, the belies that I hold that may influence my ability to build proper relationships with the patient is control. I believe in shared control rather than doctor control when interacting with the patient.
Home technology has taken a gigantic step since the 1970s as not only has the performance improved, but more families have begun to feel a necessity to have these appliances. In 1977 the Apple 2 Computer was released to the public. What was then considered an “ordinary computer for ordinary people” is now seen only in museums and dumps. The personal computer was one of the first personal computer with no additional parts required to buy, such as cases for the computer or a way to supply it power. The Apple 2 was also had great graphics for its time and was very easy to use for normal people. We now have computers in our phones, but in the 1970s the Apple 2 was one of the only computer that you could effectively use at work, school, or at home (computerhistory.org). However, all of that is nothing compared to the computers we currently use. Now most families have a laptop computer that is portable and has a long battery life without having to remain plugged into a power outlet. The computers have gotten
The issue of doctor patient relationships has become more and more prevalent in our world today. It is hard to draw a clear line in deciding what the appropriate roles are of both the patient and the medical professional. The claim that the paternalistic

Teaching hospitals are meant to train future professionals while ensuring that they provide the uppermost care for their patients. However, what some teaching hospitals fail to maintain is a strong and positive doctor-patient relationship. You would think that television shows and films
Patients seek medical attention for preventative measures, as well as, diagnostic measures. Patients must have a trusting rapport with their collaborative medical team, as the nurses and the doctors are the people who they trust their lives with. Patients do not always present to hospitals, urgent cares, walk-in clinics, or even doctor’s offices only when they are sick; patients visit to ensure their good health will continue, treatment regimens are of benefit, changes that may be needed in regimen. When someone thinks of a patient they may think of some of these characteristics: illness, disease, hospital, medications, health, and prevention.
The doctor–patient relationship has been and remains a keystone of care: the medium in which data are gathered, diagnoses and plans are made, compliance is accomplished, and healing, patient activation, and support are provided. To managed care organizations, its importance rests also on market savvy: satisfaction with the doctor–patient relationship is a critical factor in people's decisions to join and stay with a specific organizationA patient must have confidence in the
Patients might become frustrated because they do not see the doctor who performed surgery or required the hospitalization. Sometimes the personality and “bed-side” manner of doctors can contribute to communication problems. In addition doctors may use clinical terms that the patient doesn’t understand and confusion can result.
I am responsible for arranging activities for patients and through this experience i grasped the importance of the extent of commitment and dedication necessary by observing how carers make patients feel valued with even the smallest improvements to enhance their quality of life for example, using soft water colour brushes to accommodate their needs. In order to connect with them as individuals, it was important for me to be non-judgemental as well as showing patience and compassion. Fearing the loss of a patient and noticing them enduring pain displayed an invaluable insight into the emotional and mental pressures within the reality of life as a doctor. In spite of this, it is a privilege to establish relationships with patients by building rapport and showing empathy which has strengthened my communication skills. Above all, i was thankful for the opportunity to make a diagnosis just by engaging with patients which can be a valuable contribution to their
Active listening may offer a great deal of potential to increase the effectiveness of communication which takes within the practice, creating increased clarity and reducing the potential for misunderstandings, especially with patients who may be emotional or find communication difficult. Research by Street and Haidet (2011), looked specifically at communication between doctors and patients, and found frequent significant gap between physicians' perception of the patients' health concerns and actual beliefs and concerns, creating the potential for misunderstanding. Factors that were attributed to the problem were presumptions and communication issues between the two parties. While this research looked at doctors, other authors have extended this to different healthcare professions, applying to both patient and peer communication (Propp et al., 2010; Beam et al., 2010).
Naturally, a lot of the mistakes that clinicians make come from the assumption that the transition from the classroom to the hospital makes one qualified to care for patients. In most cases, medical schools impart students with the necessary knowledge to be a physician and most of it is by following examples and by trial and error. However, things have changed, and today professionalism is not just about being able to treat the patient, but it is also inclusive of how the patient and physician interact during the treatment period. This is important as each small gesture by the physician can be translated either in the right or the wrong way by those around him (Inui, 2003).
The communication between the healthcare workers and their patients are decreasing due to their very busy schedules. And the patient feels unimportant and may hold answers in that may actually help in assessing what may be wrong with them. And also some providers "intimidate patients into silence," by displaying mannerisms that proclaim anxiety, awkwardness, and lack of care.
in association with patients and partners gets to be icy, far off and guided by skepticism and need
“…If all of my possessions were taken from me with one exception, I would choose the power of communication, for by it I would regain all the rest. Daniel Webster” (Lloyd, Fuller, and Arvidson 1).
In this example, there are various barriers which prevented the doctor from communicating effectively with the patient. According to Stella Ting-Toomey, there are there main barriers to effective communication; cognitive constraint, behavior and emotional constraint (as cited in University of Colorado, 2005). However, in this case study, there is only behavior
