Effects of the Systemic Facet of Modern Technology
The constant advancements in technology have resulted to modern technology which is currently in use. This modern technology is associated with both positive and negative impacts in different fields. Accordingly, modern technology is able to transform people, places and things which come into contact with it. The effects of technology are determined by the facet of technology involved. This implies that distinct aspects such as computers and robots will impact the involved parties differently and hence, result to different effects. Considering the computer facet of technology, the positive impacts are more than its adverse effects. This is attributed to the advantages of computers such as accuracy and speed (Greenfield & Graedel, 2). In turn, this simplifies the work that can be performed by the persons involved. However, this facet has its disadvantages such as system failure which may adversely affect the individual depending on the computers. Despite the negative effects of computers, their usefulness makes them relevant in all fields such as medicine and education. Ultimately, this paper argues that computers should not be limited to but be heavily relied upon in medical practice and in schools to help achieve quality care and efficiency in education respectively.
The development and consequent evolution of computers has made them useful in many ways. In order to understand the positive effects of computers in medical practice and schools, it is important to look at their features. Computers are accurate, store bulky data in less space and enable easy retrieval. Modern personal computers and laptops are less bulky in nature and hence, they are easily portable. As technology evolves, computers become more reliable due to improved accuracy that counters human error. Generally, computers are used in their different forms given the availability of multiple varieties. As such, different forms of computers are convenient to use and highly reliable according to the needs of the involved institution (Guan, 459). They function in a manner which simplifies work and saves the time of involved persons. Consequently, these characteristics of computers are relevant in improving the efficiency in fields where computers are used.
Computers aid in record keeping of bulky data within healthcare facilities. Most of these healthcare facilities have numerous numbers of patients. These patients have a variety of data ranging from medical history, prescription and appointment schedules. Keeping all this information in hardcopies would be bulky and cause problems when retrieving it. Moreover, it would limit the space available in the medical institutions. As such, computers are relevant in storing the patient data (Glick, 36). However, the sole purpose of these computers cannot be to store patient record. This is because computers have a variety of characteristics which make them useful in the many ways within the same setup. Moreover, the same characteristic can be applied in other fields such as within a business company to achieve the same purpose. Accordingly, the records within a firm are likely to be many, necess...
