One technology advance is how computers can take pictures of the ocean floor. One computer expert found a wreckage in the bottom of the Santa Monica Bay. An article on CNN.com stated that a gentleman by the name of Gary Fabian, found a jet fighter wreckage on the ocean floor after 54 years.
The advance in technology with pacemakers and defibrillators has increased significantly. One gentleman had a major heart attack in which it damaged 30% of his heart. After undergoing a double by-pass, he then had to get the pacemaker and defibrillator surgically implanted. After speaking with him, his internal pacemaker and defibrillator has saved his life. His pacemaker helps his heart pump ever 15 beats out of 100. And his defibrillator has only gone off once in order to shock his heart into a normal rhythm.
Technology has come a long way for this generation of teens. Many of them grew up with having old Macintosh computers. Now there are several other brands of computers from Dell to the new Mac's. Just think about the upcoming generation and how much technology will advance for them in computers and life saving techniques.
I had a party line in my house, Kathleen.

It is fascinating how technology is advancing. It seems like new devices and gadgets are being developed everyday and Americans are still years behing the Japanese when it comes to techological advances. It makes one wonder just how far it will take us.
ReplyDeleteI am concerned however at the effect technology will have on social interactions. It is no longer neccessary to meet people face to face on a personal level. How will this change the fabric of our social environment?
