Daily occurrences in everyday life usually have few or no consequences, however complications sometimes arise. Because of this, technology has become a dependable and reliable source which can improve society’s way of life. Even with multiple examples of technology’s positive effect on society, many fail to acknowledge the success technology offers to humanity.

More institutions are adopting electronic health records, patients have easier access to their own information so they too can understand what is being done to them." If a patient is dealing with medical problems, a main database can help them research and understand their conditions. Although charts and papers are still used, they take up space while a tablet can display everything at the touch of a finger. Tablets are also easier to carry from room to room. Thanks to technology, medicine is better than ever and with the installation of machines like x-rays, it helps the economy prosper by creating new jobs. One such job would include a biomedical
