The medical information age.
With the recent explosion in information and technology over the past twenty years come vast changes throughout every industry worldwide. The medical industry itself has not been exempt from the transition from paper forms of data, to computerized electronic forms. The revolution of converting huge amounts of records, x-rays, names and prescriptions is very time consuming but nevertheless, it must be done. The same thing is taking place in the music business with cd�s being phased out of the market to give rise to mp3�s. Even though it hasn�t happened overnight, it is still a necessary step in the progression of human needs. The difference with the medical field is human lives are what�s at stake opposed to human desires.
