Culture and Technology

Science was the root from how technology was born. Basically, science means the study of structure and behavior of physical and natural world through experiment and observation. Technology and medicine are the development of scientific ideas through deep observations and experiments. Technology now has helped science in its advancement and a better and secure future. In the medicinal field, with the use of technology, scientists are not able to create new medicines, but are able to cure different diseases in a rapid manner, i.e. it does not take much time for scientists to research for a cure and develop a medicine using the helping hand of technology comparing to how long it used to take in the past, when technology was not even commonly used and certified to use for laboratories and researches.

With the use of technology in medicinal areas like hospitals and clinics, for main purposes such as CT scans, X-rays scans, doctors are able to easily detect their patient’s diseases. As repots from National Center of Health Statics show that the rates of Americans getting MRIs and CT scans tripled between 1996 to 2006 (Alfonsi & Hutchison, 2010), it can clearly be accepted that with the help of technology, people are developing sound health. As CT scans can help doctors to detect major problems like stones, kidney failure, tumor, etc.; whereas X-ray scans help doctors to view and cure bone fractures, curing disjoints and so on.

For example: many celebrities say yes to plastic surgery for enhancing their beauty. But some of these surgeries even lead to disastrous results. Medicines that demand to cure specific disease are called hi-tech medicines. People who are using these prescriptions, especially American, study has shown that about 47 percent of the...
