The wonders of technology. I looked at my completed tasks and noticed that the one of my assignments is not listed as completed. Looking back through me emails from Dr Johnson I found where it was graded. Technology is a wonderful thing and I know it has greatly enhanced every day life. There are times though when I think we take for granted that it is working so well that we need not pay attention to the old ways of doing things, like entering on a calendar when an assignment is completed. I remember as a young nurse when computer documentation first came into the hospitals and we were told it would make our lives easier, there would be no paper. At my current job we are getting ready to "go live" on a new anesthesia documentation system and they will be taking away our paper charts……. I will really miss my paper trail.
