Technology for a better life

By : Deborah Isabel Altafulla

Improved healthcare

Topic 1

Technology and healthcare go together better than peanut butter and jelly. In fact, the tech world has boosted healthcare so much that it would be impossible to list all of the positive changes that have been made in the last year alone.

Reduce wasted resource with used items.

Topic 2

The Internet makes it possible to find almost anything you could possible think of. Even better, most of these items and services can be rented or purchased used.

Telecommuting opportunities

Topic 3

Do you prefer the idea of working from home? There are many perks to doing this, including reducing your carbon footprint, saving money on gasoline and having a lower risk of being in an automobile accident. Thanks to high speed Internet, laptops, smartphones and project management software, 45 percent of U.S. employees are now able to telecommute at least part of the time. Instead of driving through rush hour traffic and arriving at the office frazzled, these workers can minimize their stress, increase their productivity and work comfortably in their pajamas or favorite pair of jeans.

Instant answers to everything

Topic 4

Everyone has thought of a random question or gotten into a debate about whether or not something actually happened. Before the Internet, these questions and debates could last a long time, and there was often no clear answer. Now, though, you can look anything up on Google and get instantaneous results. This has definitely made life easier, and it’s also a great educational tool for people of all ages. The time savings alone of finding something online versus having to make phone calls or go to the library is huge, but don’t forget that you can expand upon the quick answers the Internet provides by reading books dedicated to the topic in question.

Bringing families together

Topic 5

Email, Skype, texting, FaceTime and social networking sites give people from around the world the easiest possible way to stay connected. Interestingly, studies have shown that people who use Facebook on a regular basis have a 10 percent increase in the closeness of their connection to family and friends. This helps highlight the potential of technology to bring people together. Family members who are spread across the globe can join family gatherings via Skype. Additionally, shared calendars help families avoid scheduling conflicts.

GPS makes it difficult to get lost

Topic 6

GPS giving us step-by-step voice directions to get from point A to point B makes it easier for every driver to keep their eyes on the road instead of looking at a map. This makes driving safer, and it is also helpful by telling you when you’ll arrive, which roads to avoid and the fastest possible route. Therefore, even though you may benefit from occasional tech breaks, it’s worth noting that you can also regain focus with technology.
