DNP 805 Topic 7 Discussion 2
Describe one technology that you use on a daily basis that
you thoroughly like or appreciate. What features or
elements does that technology provide to you that make it
easy, enjoyable, or necessary to use? Name one element
of the technology you would change to improve its
functionality for your needs?
, Computer systems have revolutionized our everyday lives,
making it easier and faster to do many important tasks, and often
taking over the more mundane jobs. Computers have enabled us
to store, process, and retrieve information far more efficiently.
They are invaluable in helping us to control, create, calculate,
investigate, and communicate more effectively. But there are
certain drawbacks in using them. In the modern health center, the
GP has a computer in his or her room with a database storing
information about the patients, including personal and medical
details. On the computer system, there may also be access to
additional information, such as new types of medication, clinical
trials, details of rare conditions, and links to other facilities such
as physiotherapy and nursing care. What I like about computers
and what makes them necessary is that they are that they are
fast, accurate, capable of working 24 hours per day for 365 days
per year, economical with space, less labor intensive, cheaper in
the long run, capable of working in conditions that are unsuitable
for humans, and less likely to lose information.
