Everything is ran by electronics these days.
There's an app for this, an app for that, and can turn up the thermostat in
your house from the office by a couple of touches on your smartphone! If
someone doesn't know how to do something, the first thing they do is look it up
on the internet. If someone doesn't know information about something, they look
it up on the internet. Goes to show how far along in technology we have come
and how because of technology we are able to grow at a exponential rate in
particular fields.
David Fraser Ph.D. in
neuroscience, is a biology instructor at Chatham University and strongly agrees
that technology has contributed to the field of biology in many ways. The
development of websites allows you to access information from all over the world.
Websites such as Science Direct allows you to obtain information on studies
performed from years ago, to studies that were performed a week ago! Allows you
to narrow and access research performed on particular hypothesis, pertaining to
certain drugs, under particular conditions, and so forth. When developing an
hypothesis, you can search particular aspects of it to verify it, disprove it,
or see if someone else has already thought of it. Other websites such as JoVE (The Journal
of Visualized Experiments) which is a peer-reviewed scientific journal
that publishes experimental methods in video format. With knowing basic
scientific methods, procedures, and applications, one can further develop their
skills and perform particular tasks without having to learn how to do so in the
classroom! You can watch are particular studies have been performed and see the
results before your very eyes!
Anything can be found through some website. Some websites are more credible than others, but the credible ones are out there. Websites have made a huge contribution to biology from sharing information, providing information, and showing how things can be done. Because of the development of the internet and websites, we literally have the world at our fingertips.
