To Benefit or Not To Benefit; That Is The problem?
We learned in Chapter 10 that social construction as it relates to technology is the process by which groups make
decisions as to what type of technological systems should be considered and used. Recent advancements in medical
technology have come by way of the introduction of the use of radio frequency technology (RFID) in the form of a microchip implant. This microchip can be implanted underneath the skin, and serves as way to assist in patient identification with a unique ID number that can link to a patient's medical history, medications, allergies, and contact information.
Do you consider this form of technology to be beneficial to patients? Is this something that you would consider as a
patient or even recommend for a loved one? describe your positions in response to both of the posed problems with
supporting facts and references. Be sure to cite any references using APA 6th edition format.
Your answer should consist of a minimum of 300 words.
