New Technolog y has gotten very popular over the last few generations. The positive aspects about these new technologies is that there portable and there small enough to put anywhere, there very light to carry. But sometimes these technologies can have its down fall, such as the apple company. In the articles __Apple's Obsession With Secrecy Grows Stronger__ it has stated “Apple employees are often just as surprised about new products as everyone else." []. The company so called “apple” has made a huge success, it has made millions amount of money. But the items it carries can be very expensive.

Another technology that has made a huge success is cell phones. Today, cell phones are used to make phone calls to family members and friends. A cell phone, is considered new technology because it’s small and portable. Claire Cain Miller and Matt Richtel had also stated that "is the success of the iPhone, BlackBerry, and other sophisticated devices. These phones make complex interactions easier, and they have shown that people on the go are willing to spend on music, games, and virtual goods, like a $2 costume for a character in a video game" []. A cell phone can carry games; it makes life easier to contact people. Cell phones can also become an Ipod/ mp3 player. The negative thing about cell phones is that it can cause radiation. Radiation is the process in which energy is emitted as particles or waves. Some say it can cause cancer and other defects. One positive aspect about new technologies is it can save peoples lives in hospitals. With the new machines we have it can help people live. For example According to GE Healthcare they have stated "The Patient-Safety Forecaster will help organizations more accurately predict the benefits of various quality and safety investments and track the impact of improvements over time by linking behaviors, patient outcomes and cost" [|http://www.marketwatch.com/story/ge-healthcare-healthcare-association-of-new-york-state-and-bassett-healthcar] [|e-collaborating-to-keep-patients-safe-enhance-quality-and-lower-cost-of-care-2009623115510]. Meaning having these new technologies is hospitals can help health care, help our patients and there behaviors. In evident, new technologies can be pretty expensive and might take over peoples life.
