When thinking of new technologies, I thought of technology
as, “Machinery and equipment developed from the application of scientific
knowledge.” The new technology that I found was Genetic Fortune-Telling. By
that it means that we will be able to see everything about your new born baby
before it is born. It is basically a report card of a baby at birth. It will be
able to include things like if the baby will have chances of suffering a heart
attack, cancer, if they get addicted to alcohol, drugs, tobacco and their
intelligence. Scientists and doctors have been looking at this for some time
now and using the data they have collected from a lot of ongoing genetic
studies, they are calling these “polygenic risk scores.” As of now these tests
only offer possibilities not diagnosis. Where it is really going to benefit is
medicine. What they key factor that they have to work on is figuring out what causes
these diseases. Once they figure out what causes the diseases we will then be
able to move along further. They are working on it though the best and as fast
as they can so that we can help humans overall and fix problems before they are
even a problem. I think that this will relate to social media in a huge was
because of many reasons. First of all, technology changes the ways that people
do business. This can especially relate to social media in the way of telecommunication
systems. Such as, Instant messages or direct messages via social media to get
ahold of someone that you want to get in contact with. With this you are able
to see pictures, text or video direct from the company or doctors instead of
going in and seeing it in person. It saves everyone time at the end of the day.
Technology revolutionizes what we do no matter what it is. Social media and
technology are comparable because we can benefit from both. If this genetic
fortune telling deal happens everyone will want in on it because everyone wants
to live a long and healthy life. Doctors will be over whelmed with work and
there is no better way to network with people other than through social media.
Getting in contact is the first part of making this happen. Social media can
elaborate on a doctor or scientists experience in this field because I’m sure
it will cost a lot of money so you definitely don’t want to pay for something
that is wrong. I feel like this is a very cool thing and not only will it
affect social media but it will also change humans as a whole.
