11: Role in Technology

For some individual it's easy to discuss how they feel about certain aspects of their day, as for others (like me) talking about how i feel doesn't come naturally. I'm one of those people that keep everything bundled inside until that bundle can't hold itself anymore and then i pay the consequences for that. the technology we have today to communicate with others, for example this blog connection isn't my favorite tool to use. I'm not saying that blooging is a bad idea; what I amy saying is that for some it works extremely well, whereas for others they have to put a bit more effort into it and it's not a therapeutic tool for them either. I personally like journaling, just not so that everyone could read about it. As for an educational tool, blogging is a good invention for that. Writing about medical experiences or discoveries that we made in clinicals could help us if we come in contact with the same situation. For example, as i would read some of the students blogs I would find that we're all going through similiar situations and if we haven't yet, it's something we could anticipate to come our way soon. Because of this I feel better (knowing I'm not the only one) and I could prepare myself (for what's to come). As I described above, there are both positives and negatives when it comes to blogging.
