Technology in the 21st Century Thulitoots n-cube Technology occupies an important role in the 21st century. Modern advancements have made life on earth much easier for the human race. In the last one-hundred years‚ progress in astrophysics has resulted in man’s ability to give an approximation of the age of the universe. Advances in the medical sciences have extended the average life-span‚ and increased the general well-being of humans in industrialized nations. For these reasons‚ I posit the

Although shock wave lithotripsy is the most common treatment for urolithiasis‚ it can have side effects‚it can cause acute renal injury (62). Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have demonstrated renal injury in 63-85% of patients treated with shock wave lithotripsy (63). A recent retrospective case study with 19 year follow-up noted an association between shock wave lithotripsy and the development of hypertension

in human beings. The brain has definable characteristics that can be observed and analysed (Robinson‚ 2012‚ p.2). For example the activity of the brain when sleeping is examinable on electroencephalograms (Marieb & Hoehn‚ 2013‚ p.452). A magnetic resonance imaging reveals the location of different functions of the brain (Marieb & Hoehn‚ 2013‚ p.432¬). When dissected‚ the brain’s physical properties‚ such as size‚ shape and colour can be analysed (Robinson‚ 2012‚ p.2). On the other hand the mind is

Brain scans can be useful when diagnosing mental illness‚ since they can help rule out other medical conditions that might be causing the symptoms.

The authenticity of subliminal messages triggering brain activity is confirmed by recent research into brain imaging. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) shows that subliminal messages trigger specific areas in the brain without the conscious awareness of an individual (Kiesel 28). In 1957‚ the first experiment of the effectiveness of subliminal messages was carried out by
