Discuss the expansion of the use of wireless technology
What will be an ideal response?
During the last few years, the use of wireless technologies has expanded. Smart phones, global positioning system (GPS) technology, and personal digital assistants (PDAs) with Internet access have become common. In places without electricity or landlines, wireless networks using cell phones and PDAs are both bringing health information to people and gathering information to track the spread of disease. Wi-Fi is a wireless technology that allows you to connect, for example, a PDA (and other devices) to a network (including the Internet) if you are close enough to a Wi-Fi access point. Smart phones and tablet computers contain a wide variety of health-related applications and have quickly become widely used in health care environments.
