Technology in my life

This week I have to write a brief essay about the use of technologies within the different subjects I've studied this year. Technology in recently years has increased enormously and almost anyone lives without a piece of technology now, because is so useful and it make everything easier for many people. Since I enter to the university for become a midwife the technology has become in something essential in my life, and no only the technology that helps me do my studies and homework but all the technology that is used for helping people to feel better by all the health professionals.

Technology has many uses depending what you want or what you need. As a student the kind of technology I used is more for doing homework, essay, reports, etc. and, of course, search information about all the subjects I’m doing in this year, like anatomy, histology, physiology, immunology and a lot of more subjects. For doing that I always used the computer, specially interne, and a special link created by the university and all the professors for keeping the contact and has access to all the classes and extra material. Also in classes the professors used a lot of technology like power point presentations that helps a lot when the topic of the class is difficult and microphones too, which help to students to pay more attention and listening well.

In my actual life technology has another use that is, I think, vital in the development of any future health profession, I’m talking about all the instrumental and material that allow us to make our job. Technology is involved in almost every medical process, from something so basic like the thermometer for knowing the body’s temperature until something more complex like a mechanic ventilator that keeps someone alive, and because of that it is very important the education and subsequent practice for learn to use all this tools correctly.

As I said, technology is very useful and have a huge importance in our student and future professional life, no matter what health professional you are or you will become, technology will always be there, sometimes for good and sometimes for bad, but we have to remember that technology is only a help and never will be something better than a person or in this case better tha a health professional. Anyway something is clear, technology always will be something in constantly development and is our responsibility to learn and know how to use it properly, specially for the good of the people, because the people is always the most important when you are a health professional
