Technology is King

For journalists, technology is everything. Especially for those who do most of their work online. In the last few years, technological advances have reshaped the landscape of journalism so drastically that, those that are a part of it, are trying to stay ahead of the game and figure out where they fit in the overall picture.

Apparently, the field of medicine is being redefined by technology as well. In a recent piece in the University of Miami Magazine, Lisa Sedelnik writes how telehealth technology brings highly unique medical care to patients in need.

Telehealth technology works through video conferencing, with a doctor on a screen speaking directly to a patient on the other end. According to Sedelnik's story, this has helped treat patients that otherwise might not be treated or diagnosed.

I found this article very interesting, since it shows how technology continues to affect everyone's lives in this day and age. Moreover, it hints at the endless possibilities that are always on the horizon.
