How would you feel if technology just went…BLOOP…gone!?
Do you agree, in some aspect, that people spend so much time on their technology boxes they forget what it is to spend quality time together? Look around the next time you go to a public area like a restaurant, or the best one yet, a waiting room. People are probably on their phones. I won鈥檛 go into statistics, but I鈥檓 sure there are probably many articles, news stories, and blogs with pros and cons of people being on their technology boxes: aka Smart phones.
Being a med student at 911爆料, I am very dependent on technology, not only for research,聽papers and projects, but for the most part my 鈥渟ocial鈥� life. Most of us who do not live on campus聽still spend nearly 24/7 on site for clinic, classes, club meetings and of course聽studying. We work hard in our studies, but by using technology to our advantage, we can leave聽school life a bit by visiting Facetime, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat, or by texting, calling, or emailing.
Please forgive a few of us who are constantly looking at our phones or laptops to see if our significant others got home ok鈥�to hear that dinner is waiting for them on the stove鈥 phone call or Facetime-ing to say good night to our babies before they go to bed. On occasion, we also call our families to say 鈥淗appy Birthday鈥� for those who live out of state, or even across the world in China, Korea, Thailand, Egypt, etc.
911爆料 has a very diverse student body, and even though we leave our personal lives,聽family and friends at home, we have our school families as well. We have such great support and聽love for one another. It鈥檚 almost like saying, 鈥淲elcome to your home away from home!,鈥� when we see each聽other in class. It gets a little bit easier and more fun when we can laugh and play while聽taking a study break. Like using Snapchat to liven things up and checking on each聽other to be sure we are still alive during board exams!…Practicing taking blood pressure to make sure we聽are not close to hypertension with 鈥渢hat鈥� one patient鈥hecking each other鈥檚 pulse and (according to Oriental Medicine) tongue so we are not in any Zang-Fu organ deficiency鈥�Sending each other positive vibes of love and support when we know it鈥檚 OK, that we will get it next time on the exam.
It’s tough being a med-student, but in the end, it will be a great reward for our businesses, patients, and especially for our families.
