Technology is saving our live in ways we do not know about. If it is not doing so yet, it will soon be. I am not 100% sure that most people agree with me on this, but almost half of the people who think like me would agree with my statement. They would agree because it is not only true but because it has also spread from youths to adults including those with high respected professions. Technology life has taken control and is well ahead of anyone’s understanding. Although it creates may negative views about and for teenagers who use it inappropriately, it has become a very useful tool to adults whose lives are in need of help with short cuts to their everyday goals. For example: Thomas Lee, an orthopedic surgeon’s business cards are stamped with the link to his face book page. He actively tweets, checks in regularly on foursquare, and maintains a Google plus profile. And he does it for his patients. According to him, “it’s an electronic way of extending the conversation” and "It creates a vibrant sense of community and a wonderful back and forth dialogue." Social media makes it easier than ever for patients and physicians to connect outside the exam room. More than 1,300 doctors have already registered with TwitterDoctors.net, a database of physicians who tweet. "These are powerful, tremendously influential tools," says internist Kevin Pho of Nashua, N.H., a popular medical blogger who engages with his patients via Facebook and Twitter. "Doctors should be taking advantage of the opportunity." 
I am happy to know that I can chat with my doctor on Facebook when he gets and account. Because tech life is becoming increasing important, we should all consider having at least one tech life, one that will enable us to reach our goals at the end of the day.
