Tech Boom

            Where would we be without technology?  It is safe to say that without it I wouldn’t be able to write this post for every viewer on the Internet to see.  Technology has become so intertwined in our every day lives in the last quarter century.  While there may be cons to it, there is no debating that it has made for significant advances in our lives.

            Technology has allowed us to extend the lives of millions of people as well as help cure global diseases.  Procedures such as kidney and heart transplants would not be as feasibly and precise as they are now.  We can have robots assist in surgeries with much more precise incisions and higher safety.  Dr. Patel who works at a Florida Hospital in Celebration, Fla stated,   “From Day 1, when I sat down at that robotic console, I knew we would give patients a better outcome.”  With technology growing rapidly every year there is no limitation on procedures we will be able to master with the help of technology.  While technology for medical purposes is very beneficial it is also helpful in our personal lives.

            Everyday thousands of Facebooker’s and Tweeter’s log in to see comments from their most coveted stars.  Many even try to “tweet” them in hopes for a “retweet”.  With connections to sports moguls and corporations like ESPN on our social networking cites we don’t have to leave our phone to get the daily scoop.  We even become reliant on up to the date scores for our favorite teams, provided to us by downloading apps.  This is all easily available to us thanks to technology. 

            I believe it is crucial we continue to invest in technology due to the advancements it can make to society in a manner of years.  There is no telling what is in store for us in the future but I am positive technology will play a major role in it.
