Keeping active can help prevent more than 3,000 cases of cancer a year in the UK. I think this strategy is good as it’s helping prevent cancer as well as helping to keep a healthy body at the same time. The only disadvantage to this strategy is people not being able to afford a gym membership or any gym equipment for their home but they could still do exercise in their home without any equipment. Another strategy to prevent breast cancer is to drink less alcohol, just by sticking to the government guidelines. In the UK, alcohol causes 12,500 cases of cancer, around 4%.I also think this strategy is easy to follow as there’s no need to stop drinking alcohol completely, just less of it.
They have brought limitless amounts of information to our homes, jobs and telephones. As personal technology continues to become less expensive, it also becomes more powerful, advanced and user-friendly. This evolution of technology presents incredible new opportunities for people with developmental disabilities. iDevices such as Apple's iPad, iPad mini, iPhone and iPod touch are the hottest consumer technology products on the market today. While thousands of applications have been written for nearly every conceivable situation, persons with disabilities have fewer opportunities than most to enjoy the newest in iDevice computing (www.ablenetinc.com).
Health Care Economics: Changes in Technology HCS 552 April 27, 2015 Nancy Jennings Health Care Economics: Changes in Technology The practice of keeping hard copies is becoming obsolete. The advantages of electronically kept files are obvious. They are accurate and easily accessible to infinite numbers of people. They require essentially no storage space except for the hardware or software on which they are stored. Although the initial cost of implementing the use of electronic files is significant, the US government will offer incentives to change to electronic records within the health care system.
Unfortunately, a typical EMS response may take 6, 8 or even 10 minutes. Performing CPR dramatically increases the survival chance while a person awaits the arrival of EMS.

He has a lot of help and many years to come up with this technology. Pushing his ideas to the extreme, he made employees work long hours and on a “need to know basis”. If Jobs never pushed though, the world could be a very different place than what it is now. Fred Vogelstein goes into how risky it was for Apple to “show off” the Iphone for the first time. “Not only was he introducing a new kind of phone-something Apple has never made before- he was doing so with a prototype that barely worked.” (2).
I choose the articles for Cerner, for the fact that my employer recently bought a contract with the company. I have grown accustomed to the changes, and know the pros and cons of the software. “Cerner is an integrated database that provides a comprehensive set capabilities allowing health care to electronically store, capture and access patient health information in both acute and ambulatory care setting.” (www.medicalrecords.com Feb. 2012). With this system our facility is able to keep up with the patients’ history even if they were not seen for years. This complex new system has ways of looking up patient history and pharmaceutical information if a drug is not known.
Generation X is more comfortable using PDA’s, cell phones, email, laptops, Blackberry’s etc... Gen X is a very flexible generation. Many of these people lived through difficult times such as; the 1980’s where they saw their parents lose hard-earned jobs. This population is less committed to one company or firm. They adapt well to change and can tolerate alternate lifestyles. Gen X is determined and eager to accomplish things on their own terms.
From the first automobile to the first cell phone, technology is a never ending mechanical and scientific evolution that is designed to benefit us and make life easier. Every day we rely on technology to help us achieve our goals quickly and efficiently while using the least amount of energy we possibly can. There is an extremely large dependence on these technologies and their functionality. This dependence and reliance on the constantly growing technological advancements around us is argued by some as harmful and dangerous, ultimately becoming damaging. In The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury, the idea of technology and its harmful long term effects is brought up on many occasions.
