Most of us have seen the popular 1960s-1980s television show “The Jetsons”, when you were a kid or if you have children of your own. Even if you weren’t alive back then maybe you have seen the show, or at least heard of it. If not let me tell you about “The Jetsons”. To sum it up “The Jetsons” were a fictional family that lived in a futuristic community set to be 2062, there were flying cars, drones, robot-maids, smart-houses, robot-dogs, and to beat it all the neighborhood was above ground. It was in the sky! How much more futuristic can you get? The neighborhood was perfect for them, it was all they could ever dream of. In addition, my perfect future neighborhood would consist of teleportation, smart-houses, and the most important factor …show more content…
Teleportation could be useful in many ways. For example, if you have elderly family members that cannot travel then teleportation would be extremely helpful. If you needed to get somewhere swiftly due to an emergency or forgetfulness, teleportation will have you there immediately. In addition, you could go to a good college far away from where you live that has a high over-night tuition, you wouldn’t have to pay the expensive tuition along with that you wouldn’t have to leave your home. In the morning all you have to do is get ready and get into the device and type in your destination and you will be there in a jiffy. How simple is that? Also, many kids have divorced parents and the parents live far apart so it is difficult for the child or the children to see and spend time with both parents. Teleportation would also help solve that problem, the child or children could just step in and one of the parents could type in the destination and the kids would be on there way to see the other parent. Teleportation would also help government officials communicate between countries and help clear any misunderstandings between the countries. Teleportation could solve a lot of the problems that we face …show more content…
In 2016, an estimated 1,685,210 new cases of cancer were diagnosed in the United States and of those 1,685,210 cases cancer brutally killed 595,690 of the people. Cancer has a major impact on society in the United States and across the world. Cancer leaves families torn, broken-hearted, and forever scared. Cancer is the worst disease known to man, and the worst part is, there is no known cure. With the discovery of a cure for cancer hundreds of thousands of people would get to live their life instead of losing the battle to cancer. I have had many personal experiences with cancer in my family, I recently lost my granny and great-granny to cancer. In addition, it not only hurts the person diagnosed but it hurts everyone who knows the person being diagnosed. With a cure for cancer my neighborhood of the future would be almost perfect. Cancer ruins many lives as it has mine, there is no way to change my life now, but we can help save others lives and futures by finding a cure for cancer in the near
In the article The Cosmic Perspective by Neil deGrasse Tyson he examines a range of topics from human life coming from Mars to how our perspective of the universe relates to religion. In the year 2000, a new space show opened at the Hayden Planetarium called Passport to the Universe, which compared the size of people Milky Way and beyond. While a show like this might make someone feel minuscule and insignificant, Tyson says that seeing the size of the universe actually makes him feel more alive not less and gives him a sense of grandeur. I agree with his idea that looking at us as a people in comparison can actually give you a sense of grandeur. However, when I compare myself to the vastness of space, it puts events on Earth in perspective while showing how influential we can be as a people even if we are small.
Cancer is a deadly disease that millions of people die from a year. Many loved ones are killed with little to no warning affecting families across our world. My family happened to be one that was affected by this atrocious disease. This event changed the way my family members and I viewed cancer.
Cancer has been an active concern in our society for the past couple decades, since we truly discovered the nature of cancer and the potency it brings along with it. However, it was not until the mid-20th century that scientists were beginning to truly understand the origin of cancer. Scientists dating back all the way to the Renaissance, when they first began performing autopsies to learn more about the human body and form, noticed abnormalities but it never clicked that it was something much worse than it seemed. Research has continued since then, and it has continued to thrive even to this day. When James Watson and Francis Crick discovered DNA and it’s chemical structure in 1962, it opened up doors that even they could not expect. With the understanding of DNA and how it affected the way we look at life, came the beginning of the understanding of mutated DNA (which is a cause of the growth of cancerous cells). In this past century, researching scientists discovered that cancer is linked with the DNA that resides in a cell’s nucleus. By ways of damage to the cells via chemicals or radiation, or even introduction of a new DNA, the cancerous cells begin to form and duplicate. We are learning more and more about cancer and how to fight it, but we still have much more to learn.
Cancer in one way or another touches all of us, whether as a patient or through the diagnosis of the people you love around you. Millions of patients who are faced with cancer are depending on oncologists everywhere to cure cancer so others will not suffer like they had to. Optimistically, sooner rather than later this international problem will come to an end. There are a number of drug companies that have been coming out with cancer treatment drugs. “Oncology has been one of the hottest and most active therapeutic areas for drug development, drug makers may want to take note of a finding that new cancer drugs have proven far more difficult to gain approval than medicines for infectious and autoimmune diseases.” (nature.com) Unfortunately, these drugs cannot cure the cancer but it sure makes it a load easier o...
Fifty years ago, a president boldly said “I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth” (Kennedy). Since then, we have split the atom, spliced the gene, and roamed the surface of the moon. There has been an incredible advancement in medical technology, so why can’t we find a cure for cancer? If the United States government made research less of a financial liability, establish subsidies for less wealthy cancer patients, and let independent researchers be at the helm of research, finding a cure for cancer may be within our grasp. I understand that finding a
Isn’t it overwhelming to consider the fact that approximately one in eight deaths in the world are due to cancer? To make this more comprehensible, the number of deaths caused by cancer is greater than caused by AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined. Along with the idea that this disease does not have a definite cure is a mind-staggering concept to grasp. If not caught in time, cancer means guaranteed death. These types of thoughts were floating around my head when my mother had told me that my father had mouth cancer.
Cancer is a leading cause of death in the United States. Near 8.2 million people die of cancer each year. Is cancer going to be a continuing leading cause of death around the world in the near future. According to one of the world’s leading experts on cancer says,”An effective cure for all types of cancer could be just five to 10 years away.” Although no cure is currently available for cancer treatments are sometimes available. In some cases treatments are not available or effective so the only thing left for them is oncoming death. Forevermore, there are ways to keep people comfortable or speed up the process of death so they don’t have to suffer or have their family watch as they are in painl. So the problem of cancer with a prognosis of
Technology, like everything, has its ups and downs, you know, the pros and the cons.Technology makes everything so much easier for everyone. We can travel long distances, talk to our loved ones, and even entertain us. Technology has also made things safer for us.There have been so many technological advances through recent history that were created to keep people safe and away from harm, like fire alarms and air bags in motor vehicles. Technology has also made things much faster for us, such as travel. Cars, Planes, and Boats help many people get to different places around the globe in shorter amounts of time, and the internet has also made
One advantage of having a cell phone is that its very helpful when a person needs to contact a friend or a family member (9). For example, when someone is lost in a place they have never been in. But now a days people owning a cell phone can never get lost because now phones have a map that tells you where your location is. Now a phone can also be a credit/debit card swiper for someone's business.
Teleportation is pretty much against the law if humans were to use it, as it would be an act of murder and creation. It wouldn’t be worth investing all of the money into teleportation, because there are a lot more cons than pros with the concept. The human race would be a lot safer without it. People would rather use up twenty-four hours of their life to fly overseas, rather than make a replica of themselves and risk their life just to get to the destination quicker.
Overall, technology will always play a part in our everyday lives. It continues to be used in various ways. For instance, computers make it easier to find information and keep up with records. Whirlpools help patients to recover from an injury. Robotics will improve the mobility for injured patients. Ultrasounds help prevent inflammation and reduce swelling of joints. Technology in physical therapy continues to change and help others move forward with their life.
Firstly, technology has made life easier for human kind in terms of education and work. Ever part of people’s daily lives is linked to technology in one way or the other. It just makes life easier and things quicker. Technology advances make people see how processes can be made actively and efficiently (Lynda Moultry Belcher, n.d.). For instance, by technological improvements of computers, nowadays, education has greatly enhanced. Students are able to learn and take exams by sitting and home and simply using their laptops or computers. This could highly help disabled people, children who live very far away from any school and who are living temporarily abroad. Other than homeschooling, nowadays technology ...

It advances education substantially, saves many lives, allows communication throughout the world instantly, organizes so much information that is easily accessible, and helps with innovation and creativity in humans. Sure there are negatives to it, but what really matters is how much the positives and negatives weigh out. It has advanced the human race so far above any other race on Earth that we have trouble keeping up with it. The beauty behind it is that it can never stop advancing. There will always be that more that can be upgraded or invented, and it’s only getting better. What will be next? Flying cars powered by wind power? Just wait to see where we will be by the year
With the help of telehealth and telenursing, overall healthcare costs can be reduced, especially for those patients
