Cell phones, MP3, internet and many other modern technologies have become essential components of the lives. How many of us feel at loss and lack the ability to focus when you forget our cell phones somewhere, but once we have it back in our hands its as if we found treasure? How many hours do we in front of computer screens, messaging and chatting? Our earphones are deafening our ears with modern music and isolating us from everything that surrounds us, it is as if the whole world has become reduced and viewed only in a 14 inch screen. Modern technology affects our daily lives in every way and shaped our generation to the way it is. Why and how is this happening? What are the consequences of us as individuals and our social environment?

...Thesis statement Vehicle Types An alternative fuel vehicle is a vehicle that runs on something other than traditional fuel, or a vehicle that does not completely rely on one type of fuel but instead a combination of fuel and battery power. The type of alternative fuel vehicle best suited for a rental car company such as Lotus, would depend on what types of alternative fuel or technology they have available. There are several different types of vehicles available, each one with a different or combination technology for alternative fuel use. Some vehicles are not available in all states, so this would also be a consideration for Lotus. The most popular and readily available alternative fuel vehicle is the Hybrid cars. Although not technically considered an alternative fuel car, these vehicles operate using advanced technology that combines the electric battery, motor and generator, creating more efficient use of traditional fuel. In addition to the gas tank they have an electric battery that stores energy during the speeding and slowing parts of a typical journey. This type of vehicle will offer a substantial savings in fuel costs because of the engine’s efficiency. Many car companies offer Hybrid cars at a reasonable cost to consumers. Honda, Toyota, Lexus and Ford all lead the way with a variety of these vehicles. There are a limited number of automakers producing Ethanol fuel vehicles. Ford, Dodge and Chevy each have a model currently available that runs on...

Within this paper, I will answer such questions as patient information accuracy, security issues, advantages and disadvantages of using a mobile device and the impact the social media has within the healthcare industry. Distinguish between patient self monitoring using mobile computing technology to inpatient visits to the doctor or hospital As technology continues to penetrate our daily lives, all forms of business have decided to take advantages of this phenomenon; from manufacturing to healthcare. Patients now possess the ability to monitor their vital signs using mobile technology, instead of travelling to clinics and hospitals to visit doctors. “In the past few years, the technology landscape has been drastically changed by the proliferation of consumer-focused mobile computing devices. These devices, primarily smart phones and mobile tablets, are a new type of platform – less power than laptops and workstations, but with more functionality and connectivity than traditional phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs)” (Himss 2011).

...People Have Become Over Dependent on Technology We are living in a society which is called "technologically civilized" society. Every small work we do is technology dependent. Today every other person is recognized with the device or gadget, he carries; which is technically advanced. Ultimately, we can say that, “living without technology is like living without air" in this technical world of today. Therefore, we are much dependent on technology.People have become overly dependent on technology. Most people depend on their cell phones, on computers for internet, and on transportation engines. Because of their dependence on technology, people do not get all the exercise that they need to be healthy in every way. Most people have become dependent on their cell phones to memorize other peoples contact information. Becoming over dependent on your cell phones is not good for your memory. Also depending on your cell do not let you memorize family member’s phone number for emergency. If you depend on your cell phones you are not exercising your brain enough, it also let you lose your ability to think. For example, if you want to type a text message the words will pop up for you. Becoming over dependent on your cell phone is also a source of distraction, because if I found a class boring I will just go to my phone and starting chatting with my friends. A lot of people these days are over dependent on technology they rely on computers for use of the internet. For example, if a student...

...genetically difference of people and also how it may affect the healthcare that they may need. With technology being modified daily the advancements in technology may improve the levels of personalize medicine by, giving details on someone metabolic, genetic, and proteinaceous profile that in the future be used to customize individual medical care. The concept of personalized medicine has broadened to include evaluation of your genetic risk of developing disease and determining how serious it may be as well as detecting diseases at much earlier stages—usually before you have symptoms. A personalized medicine approach will also tell you what medicines will work best for you, depending on many different factors, and reduce or eliminate the trial-and-error process of trying to find the right ones. A personalized medicine approach will better monitor disease and treatments and have a better chance of predicting outcomes of therapies and treatment approaches. Personalized medicine usually involves a combination of genetic testing (to determine propensity for certain diseases); suggestions for lifestyle changes; detection of diseases at the molecular level; and customized treatments for diseases, rather than a "one size fits all" approach. It is still in its infancy but is likely to influence traditional medicine more and more over time. The practical benefit of genetic technology for personalized medicine is that information in a person's genome may inform healthcare decisions...
