In this vast World, humans have hit a unique time in their history when it comes to the accelerating speed of technology. In recent discussions of a controversial issue has been whether or not robots will replace humans in the work place and have disastrous consequences on the economy or in society. Automation has slowly been introduced to the Dentistry field but in the past five years an acceleration of usage has put fear in Dentistry because of the possibility of the decline of job positions for humans. These new advancements have been used for, the increase of service demand, increase profit and speed, precision, and cost. With this new unexpected turn in human history, will robots or other forms of automation replace humans in Dentistry? …show more content…
On the other hand, the advanced automation will extremely increase profits for dental offices. According to Dr. Shantanu Jaradi, "Using robotics to assist in dental operations and surgeries is in reality, the next big step. The future looks brighter and more efficient. Embracing it will only mean more profits, better performance and easier operations for dentists across the globe". (Jaradi, 2017). Basically, Dr. Jaradi implies, as technology improves and speeds up, revenue will drastically rise for dentistry. In fact, the use of lasers has been an outstanding technology that has had the largest positive change in revenue. William Vitale, DMD insists, "Many common links make the implementation of the laser into a dental practice profitable. They must regard the laser as an investment that will increase revenue and profitability, as well as provide better patient comfort and superior clinical results". (Vitale, 2001) Therefore, dentistry will experience an extremely high patient encounters due to advanced procedures, which will affect profit to rise. In this case, both patient and business are satisfied. Dr. Greider, acknowledges that the speed of tools is connected to extremely high profits," gross revenues increased an additional $110,000 the second year, and he projects a similar increase in subsequent years. Here is a tool that makes my life easier, makes dentistry fun again, and …show more content…
According to, Stewart Pinketon," the cost or medical bill that the patient will be paying will also cost too much since they are using higher quality of anesthesia to be injected in the patient's body". (Pinketon, 2017). I agree with Mr. Pinketon, the high cost can be unaffordable for some patients, which would prevent them from taking advantage of these advanced robots. Given these points, the advantage and high cost that these robots are giving, patients will be required to weigh their situation in cost convenience and the effectiveness of the robot on the
Surgical technology is a profession meant for people who don’t visualize their selves working in front of a computer, spending their whole day with paper works or waiting for the time to pass. This line of work suits well for those individuals who are hungry for action. It is a career made for the brave, the fast and the people who consider themselves as OCDs. Surgical technologists are the “worker bees” of the operating room.
People of today are now considering a surgical technologist’s job as one of the most promising careers in the field of health care. As a matter of fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics expects the number of surgical technologists to increase 30% by 2022. This leaves behind all the other occupations with their projected 11% growth. The BLS projection simply indicates that the said profession is continually growing which brings along great news for many aspirants. Another thing that might entice a lot of surgical tech wanna-bes is the good compensation they can enjoy.
The Good and the Bad of Technology Ray Bradbury’s “The Veldt” is a twisted story about just how much advanced technology can alter one’s daily habits, mind, and even personality. Back when the short story was published, advanced technology such as those expressed in the story seemed impossible. However, a world where robots deliver takeout is on the horizon. A house that cooks and cleans for those that inhabit it does not seem so far fetched anymore. As modern technology starts catching up with the fictional world of “The Veldt”, many benefits and risks are starting to emerge.
As society continues to develop and makes new plans, technology in today’s world is starting to raise some questions. Patrick Lin, is a philosopher and director of the ethics emerging group at the state University in California. With the help of the university Patrick Lin wrote an essay called The Big Question: in his essay, he talks about the technologies and ideas in which many people seem to overlook today. In hopes of raising awareness about the upcoming industrial revolution of robotics. the changing of the world around us is already underway.
After reading Million Dollar Dentistry by Gray Kadi, I learned that the traditional way of dentistry practice is stressful and you are leaving so much money on the table if you continue to practice dentistry the old fashion way. Also I learned that if you use Mr. Kadi suggestion you will be living a happier and stress-free life. One of the biggest take-away I got after reading this book is “when everyone is responsible for everything, no one is truly responsible for anything.” I really like this concept, it gives everyone in their roles accountability and incentives to bring in new/returning patients. For example, the treatment coordinator he/she is responsible for closing the case after the patient comes out of hygiene.
To live in a world where machines will have most of the skills that humans have had for centuries can only bring more conflict within society. We are already living in a rapidly advancing society. To the scientific mind, this kind of world can either be a dream come true or an irreversible nightmare. My view is that this rapid progression is a disturbing trend that has to be slowed down, even stopped entirely. A radical depiction of this kind of world can be seen in the “Terminator” films and the film “I Robot”.
In “Better than Human”, Kelly mentions that it will be a trend for robots to replace humans on most, or even every working position in the near future as a outcome of the development of automaton-related technology. “We need to let robots take over”, Kelly assures, “they will do jobs we have been doing, and do them much better than we can (Kelly 311)”. With his observation of the invention of Baxter, he is persuaded in a great extent that humans will acquire new jobs as their old jobs get replaced by automatons. This newly invented robot surprisingly contains several epochal features, disregarding its extremely low price compared to its predecessors. With its benefits, Baxter can be promoted easily and applied to many industries, decreasing the costs of production and even re-generating the market eventually.
Thankfully, my lengthy preparations for a dental profession were not for naught though, as last year my internal flame for professional dentistry was truly alit by a local Omaha dentist. Shadowing Dr. Beninato, was shadowing experience unlike any other that I had previously witnessed. With preconceived notions and minor experience biasing me away from general dentistry, watching Dr. Beninato manipulate equipment and materials to artfully reconstruction entire sets of teeth utilizing full arch implantation supported bridges triggered a personal epiphany. There I sat watching a master of the dental art, whose occupation as a simple general dentist, unlike the restricted path of orthodontics, had enabled him to elect out of a large array of options, and become highly specialized in fields of interest uniquely his own. Additionally, complementing the ability to specialize, I would come to realize general dentistry possessed an equally important aspect that I adore, the joy and skill of working and building with ones hands, at a level woefully unmatched by the manual dexterity required of
The author's purpose in writing “Robot Invasion” was to represent the effectiveness and relevance of robots in today’s society. The author is able to persuade the reader that robots are beneficial to society by stating statements such as “the robots will be able to unleash a productive boom”. This statement from the author really exemplifies the positive impact that robots have on our everyday lives by making our everyday tasks easier and having robots be the productive
Due to automation and robotics, around five million jobs exist with 300,000 people estimated to already be employed in industrial robotics.
Many of these tools are coming in the form of robots or machines with robotic parts. The exact prototype of Baymax has not been replicated, but there are multiple types of robots with different abilities that have been integrated into some healthcare settings. Communication is a key component in the progression of healthcare. Technology has taken communication to new levels by introducing aspects of virtual reality to healthcare.
This is going to be a massive social challenge. There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better [than a human]. These are not things that I wish will happen. These are simply things that I think probably will happen.” — Elon Musk “You cross the threshold of job-replacement of certain activities all sort of at once. So, you know, warehouse work, driving, room cleanup, there’s quite a few things that are meaningful job categories that, certainly in the next 20 years [will go away].”
A world of robots working in factories, markets, schools, companies, and limited amount of work space for humans that’s what is going on. The things we saw in movies and what we were dreaming is all becoming reality. Recently, technology has been improving in a very rapid pace. Technology, such as smart phones, tablets, and television, made our lives easier and more convenient. Now people can click a button and deliver food or items they want anywhere.
As technology and robotics progress, people continue to debate how jobs and careers could be affected. Robotic replacement might not have a negative effect , especially since it has helped our development to be able to survive. The process of the robotic development started in the industrial age. The industrial age is known for “a period in which fundamental changes
Ever since I was young, dentistry had sparked my interest for my career. Dentistry appeals to me chiefly because I had always wanted to be involved in a profession where I can help people. My love towards human biology especially human teeth also contributes to my career choice. Most importantly, I find human teeth interesting, often fascinating. Due to my compassionate nature, I have since long known that I would want to pursue dentistry as my career because I get to form relationships with my patients, work hand in hand with many people on a face to face basis.
