Hospital Health Danger Technology

shared by Nathan Nast on 09 Feb 11 - No Cached
  • To put it mildly, our health care system demonstrates large-scale confusion about whom to treat and how intensively to treat them.

      Our health care is now being put up on the internet. Everyones medical history can be viewed online. This can be an invasion of privacy. Having hospitals depend on something that could shit down at any moment, is non reliable.
  • Cure of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and ALS Growth of new bone and joint tissue to reverse arthritic damage Regeneration of pancreatic functions to reverse diabetes Repair of diseased portions of the cardiovascular system

      All of these new diagnoses/cures, are incredible. This is one way of futuristic medicine being very helpful. The words that are used are"Cure...growth....regeneration...and repair. All of which is helping our body. Although their are bad parts to this technology, you can't pass the fact that its saving lives.
  • Broadcast and print media now overwhelm us with direct-to-consumer ads, most notably for drugs that affect people’s lifestyles, including those treating hair loss, heartburn, and the ubiquitous erectile dysfunction but also for drugs that can have important consequences for survival, including various cholesterol-reducing drugs (statins and their kin) and hypertension medications

    The danger of using to much technology when it comes to health. Should we keep "feed"ing money into these hospitals? What comes next?

  • The problem with texting is that people have gotten so use to it to the point that they have no idea how to carry on a conversation with another person anymore..the word "YES" is just a few keystrokes away!

      This idea that people would rather text than actually carry out a conversation with someone has an essence of truth behind it, and M.T. Anderson touches on this when Titus' father comes to visit the hospital and instead of talking to his son he tries to M-chat him thus saying that people would rather talk through technology than verbally.
  • I am not fully against it( obviously i'm on the computer typing this thread)

      The writer is advocating a step back from an overuse of technology but is using technology to voice his ideas. Almost this exact idea occurs in the book when the kids are driving past the people protesting the feed, while using the feed to broadcast their protest of the feed.

  • The problem with today's world is that people are too stuck on their WANTS!! and not on their NEEDS!...whats funny is that people are being brain washed to think that these "wants" are "the NEEDS"

      This idea the writer is touching upon that people are beginning to think that what they want is actually what they need because technology tells them it is, is exactly what the feed does when it "knows" you so well that it "knows everything you want and hope for, sometimes before you even know what those things are."(48)

    This article is about how technology has made us lazy and how people rely to heavily on it to do simple tasks. Questions are raised about if we begin to, as we have, rely on technology too much will we end up losing the ability to think for our selves?

  • So far, spinal implants have been inserted in 2,000 different surgeries using SpineAssist. There have been no cases of nerve damage, Mazor says. A newly released study in the medical journal Spine indicates a 98% success rate

      the machine is not perfect in realation to the world in the feed. but again its only a working process.

      i would have to agree the machine is only a work in progress and its so far been a good thing but who knows in the future it could eventually replace people and there jobs
  • Mazor is currently selling SpineAssist to hospitals for $660,000, along with an annual $66,000 service fee.

      natrualy, the inventors of such awesome caliburs of technology are not willing to dontate or reduce their price for the good of man kind, rather just to make some type of profit out of it.

      this is insane amount of money for this why pay this much when you can just do it the way before

    the wonders of technology. no matter what you do it only advances. as shown in this article there are computers and machines that can work, almost, like a robot. with the help of this new tech it can cause some simpler and easyer surgrys. in regards to the book feed, technology there is beyond what we can do now. but because of these "robots", with each day we, in the present time, get closer and closer to a similar future.

    i think thats really cool that we can to do that it just makes me wonder if robots are going to take over the medical field if they can just program the robot to do it for them with out issues.
