Robots are Giving a Break to Doctors

Robots are doing the rounds for doctors and what is involved is the practitioner could be anywhere, inside the hospital or far away from it, and the robot will do the rounds on the doctor’s behalf and the doctor will interact with the patients asking them questions since it has a screen and a camera. That is all it can do for now, which means it cannot check their pulse or measure their blood pressure, a feat that will not be difficult to accomplish as all the patients might have to do will be to follow instruction and can check their own pulse using the robots stethoscope and the robot will record it, while they could do the same with their blood pressure where they can use a pad that is attached to the robot. The particular robot that is being tried at Baltimore Sinai Hospital costs $150,000 and the doctor that is using it is a weight watch surgeon and according to him the patients like it, because they can interact with him as if he was there in person. There are around 120 such robots used around the world and amazingly their performance level had been superb since patients were able to leave hospitals earlier, which means they could enhance the follow up process, because they can be made to work round the clock, including nights. They are also useful in case of emergency when the doctors are not around and they can hold teleconferencing with the staff and the patients and could solve many problems.

The Hyphen Between Marriage-Kids had been Removed

According to a survey taken people no longer are marrying to bear children. What this means is other priorities have cropped up lately pushing the importance of bearing and raising children lower and it is no longer the sole glue for a happy and long lasting marriage. However it does not mean children are not welcome as the survey found out that they are very welcome, but the era they were the priorities is out and what are in are faithfulness, good sexual relationship, chore-sharing, comfortable lifestyle that include good income and a good house that goes with it, similar religion belief, tastes, and interests. The other leniency is it is not only that couple have no problem living in a common law arrangement but they can bear children out of wedlock and there is nothing new about it since one family out of four is doing it. The survey did not find out that children are not the source of fulfillment, to the contrary, yet bearing children has become an option and could take place anytime in the life of the marriage rather than going to work right away to make a family. The alarming figure reveled was the role of child bearing to hold marriage together was at 65% in 1990 and that figure has come down to 41% in the recent survey made and the reason is still under study.

Any Hybrid Car Should Sell Easily

That is not so as it was witnessed by the measure Honda took recently. It is forced to take out the Accord hybrid out of the market because it is not generating enough sales. The reason behind it is even if the model is a top performer when compared to vehicles of its class, the high price of gas has made it not a top former as far as gas is concerned even if it has a high performing engine, but without availing any break for the pocketbook of the owners. The other reason for its failure to sell is it is also priced a bit high at $31,000 and makes 28 miles only with a gallon of gas compared to the Camry for example, that sells for $22,175 and makes up to 40 miles per gallon. The reason for that could be the Camry comes with a four-cylinder engine while the Accord has six cylinders. When compared to the Civic hybrid, Honda said it will continue bringing the particular model to the market and it sells for $22,600 and makes around 49 miles per gallon.

On the other hand the Prius model sells for $22,175 and gets up to 60 miles per gallon making it a sure winner as it is selling more than any other hybrid vehicle. The number of Accords sold was just around 25,000 since 2004, whereas the Civic hybrids had sold more than 153,000 units since they were introduced in 2001. The Prius on the other hand had sold 729,800 units since 1997 and to make things worse the Camry hybrids had sold 53,681 since 2006 showing that Honda is not winning the competition in the hybrid mid sedan race. In all of this the American car manufacturers led by General Motors Corp. are going to enter the hybrid market in big force as there are vehicles such as Chevrolet Tahoe and BMC Yukon, large utility vehicles that will have a hybrid version in the market in the near future. Also Saturn Aura and Chevrolet Malibu sedans are in line to have a hybrid version giving some of the share of the hybrid market for the American manufacturers and that is expected to boost their sales since hybrids are becoming hot selling vehicles because of the high gas price. Hybrids would garner more market share as their price comes down.

Surface Computer from Microsoft

The use of touch screen had been around for a while now and stretching it a bit further to do more things might not be such a wonder, after all. However, its advantages could be unlimited, because it could make life easier for people who will be looking for information in public places. It is possible to say good bye to the information booth or there might not be a need to deal with those fixed guides that are placed in buildings to help new visitors find their way around and the surface computer could be packed with more capabilities where each office could have its own page and it might be possible to interact with the receptionist without making it there in person. It is not only that booking and reservation using the surface computer is also going to be made possible.

It could also serve as a public computer many people can use to do things online without waiting turn since it could be made bigger to accommodate many users. However, since it has to be a fixture some place it might not have good use in the home or office or in the world of mobile computing, yet it is possible to install it inside an office and let many people use it at the same time, by dragging and dropping what they want with their bare hands. The fact that it recognizes brushes and similar tools and respond to what they are doing also might make it useful to artists who can use it as a canvas. As far as public use is concerned it could have all the capabilities of computers in public places that no one can carry away and it could have a virtual keyboard. And the future ATMs could have up to ten terminals dispensing money and could solve the lineup problem in busy locations.

PPP

What is Good about Writing for PPP?

I was averaging one article a day, with a possibility that I can do two, and with another possibility that the money paid could also go up as long as the blog I am posting the material on has the right rank. This is a good deal for something I can do on a part time basis. The other good thing about writing for PayPerPost is all it takes is to visit the sites and all the information is there most of the time, which would mean there is no need to conduct research. However, if there is a catch it is that if the business volume is low like it is now it is only those who have a high Google rank that will continue posting. Other than that, as long as there is enough work I have appreciated the money I was getting from get paid to blog as well as the products and the companies I was writing about, because it is a good warm up to becoming a topnotch copywriter. You are doing a great job and it is also a great community, I am glad I met you.

The Worry of Cell Phone Only Users

Their number is on the rise and it is surpassing a quarter of the youth. What this means is the number of phone users that do not have a landline telephones but get a full phone service is becoming significant. The statistics shows the adult figure alone has grown from 2 percent to 12 percent recently. The other revealing figure is 15 percent of Hispanic adults use cell phones while they are flanked by 13 percent of black adults, 12 percent of Asians, and 11 percent of whites. The figure goes further revealing 22 percent of low income earning adults are using cell phones only, which is going to be double of those who are not low income earners. Another figure worth noting is 13 percent of male and 12 percent of female phone users have cell phones only, while 2 percent of adults have no phones. The reason why such a pattern is alarming is, whenever survey is made it is only those who have landline phones that are contacted and this could mean leaving out a good chunk of the population.

Get a Second Opinion

An elderly man was told he had pancreatic cancer and would only live 12 months. That led him to start living lavishly, where he stopped paying his mortgage, quit his counseling job, and was spending money around and was eating outside a lot. Because of fear he did not want to go abroad and finally as the 12th month approached he even gave up buying clothing and had kept a suit, a shirt, and a tie to be buried in. However, he found out that the diagnosis was wrong and he does not have the disease, which means he will live longer. That forced him to sell his house because he was penniless and now he is suing the hospital for giving him such a wrong diagnosis that led to the ruin of his life. If there is any advice he gives out, it is to get a second opinion always before making any kind of decisions.
