Technology...friend or foe??
Honestly, just the thought of having this conversation is a little crazy, in my opinion. Just ask yourself one question...where would we be without the telephone? I’m sure the implementation of the telephone, in its day, caused its share of controversy. The benefits of technology in health care can clearly be seen through the use of items in the last 50 years such as the fax machine and computer. Pause for a moment and think where we would be without something like a microscope? Going into the future, nanotechnology, robots, and smart computers will lead to new discoveries and exciting possibilities. Technology aside, one thing we all must remember as nurses--never lose sight of the human touch. Bye for now!
