The technology helps us of different ways, because we can use it for study, works, for fun, to communicate and for other things. The advancement of technology has been very important in the area of health, with the incorporation of machines for the diagnosis and treatment.


In the university life the use of technology is very frequent, in all of subjects we have to do presentation, report and seek information, so with the use of internet we have a lot of possibilities and therefore the job is much easier. Another advantage is the use of internet as a means of communication between professors and classmates, this way of communication is quick and easy, and teacher use it to give information.
The technology in medicine is a great tool for everyone working in the area of health. This year we had the experience of learn the use of the technology in the area of Physical Therapy, in a subject that called “Basic therapeutic procedures”. In this subject, I had the opportunity to learn different techniques with tools and machines that it used for the treatment of various injuries. For example, when the patient have a big pain, muscle injury, fractures, broken skin, muscle tension, among other.
