This process went well with my group-mates and I. We were able to identify a problem that we felt our floor could improve on, researched and found articles that support our ideas and were able to disseminate this information in a way that we can find out how likely other nurses would be inclined to attend an educational meeting on. We decided we thought the best way to get our information across was with a poster board that we can store in the break room for nurses to look at while they are charting or eating. Having a visual aid is a great way to get your points across and if there is too many words it can be too distracting. By looking and analyzing data I was able to enhance my skills of researching and disseminating. Working with my group went very well and we were able to get our thoughts across and able to understand one another and work as a team.

I chose this image because when I look at the heartbeat I think of numerous things; I think of saving lives, vital signs, living, and the art of understanding. Being able to understand an ECG and notice when someone is having a heart condition is a huge part of the medical field. Moreover, the image of a heartbeat shows life in an individual and when the heart beat is abnormal it resembles needing a fix and saving someones life.

Big Data is used  to create a better understanding of others behaviors, preferences, and choices. Big Data has always been around, and is especially important in the medical field. Big Data in the medical field adds to technology advances, and major discoveries that can help save lives of many. Moreover, diagnose, and treat patients in a timely mannered opportunity. It allows those working in the medical field to continue to advance, and create better and safer healthcare for everyone.

one source I have found is:

“The Future of Big Data, Machine Learning, and Clinical Medicine.” NEJM Catalyst, 10 Oct. 2016, catalyst.nejm.org/big-data-machine-learning-clinical-medicine/.

This source will help provide information on medical advances through technology, and why Big Data is important in healthcare and help give me a broader outlook on what Big data really means in the medical field.

A few other sources I found are:

These articles will also help with supporting my thesis statement about Big data helping healthcare

I still need to research more to start my final draft, and look for some possible naysayer sources to find some negative effects of Big Data in the medical field.

Sources that use Big Data

• social media
• music
• search engines
• pandora/Spotify (music apps)
• things that I like on twitter, Facebook, or Instagram
• google maps
• find my iPhone
• weather
• texting/ phone calls
• siri
• reminders/calendars
• emails
• pictures
• facetime

There are a numerous amounts of databases that are using Big Data, these are just some of them. Without even knowing you are adding to Big Data everything you click on, look up, or favorite is being calculated into huge algorithms. Some places such as car dealerships use Big Data to estimate when customers are going to buy more cars by analyzing when they are searching the cars. That is just one example out of a variety of uses.

Social networking sites can help build friendships and keep those in touch, but can become risky when people start to build fake identities and lose sight in who they are in face to face communication with others. In other words, social media can be as risky as you allow it to be. Researcher, Greenfield focuses on the effects that social media plays on people’s identities in the chapter “Social networking and identities.” She has an overall argument that social media has a negative effect and is conforming the human population involved with social media, more specifically teens. Even though I agree with most of what she has to say, I still have some doubt. Greenfield states, “Living in the context of the screen might suggest false norms of desirable lifestyles awash with friends and parties. As ordinary human beings follow the activities of these golden individual’s, self-esteem will inevitable plummet; yet the constant narcissistic obsession with the self and its inadequacies will dominate.” This is something that I agree to disagree with. Self-esteem and narcissistic behaviors may be more prevalent now in time, but doesn’t mean that everyone who uses social media will suffer from these traits. I do agree that seeing others post something that seems favorable to one might have a greater attraction and persuade one on trying to be more like that. In my opinion, one who has low self-esteem most likely had it before they used social media. I do believe that social media can deepen and worsen one’s self-esteem, but their look on themselves must have already been some sort of damaged before. Some might argue, and say that people could have perfect self-esteem, and have it become weakened by using social media as an outlet, by constantly comparing themselves to others, but then the question comes into play; is that really social media’s fault or is the person’s will power just not strong enough.

Danah boyds has few theories; on how teens seem to have multiple personality’s, or mean things that can be portrayed differently, and have certain audiences are all extremely useful because it sheds light on the difficult problem of things being taken out of context. “Adults sometimes believe that they understand what they see online without considering how teens imagined the context when they originally posed a particular photograph or comment.”

1. Yes, I have one social media for my friends only where I share my L’s.
2. My twitter is more for my humorous side, my vsco is for my aesthetic self, and my Instagram is more for anyone to view.
3. I interact with anyone who I know through social media a good amount of time.

R.I.P young Caralyn’s twitter….

The place where I posted from my young photoshoots, to inspiring quotes, memes, awkward photos, and everything else wrong with my young self. Where my tweets didn’t even make sense or have any point in being posted…. rip. Where my sad, awkward middle school life really showed. If you’re looking for a good laugh go scroll through my old twitter, and watch me tweet about my crush. #whywon’thetalktome #selfie #jb4lyfe

From the TED talk, “What makes a good life? Lessons from the longest study on happiness,” Robert Waldinger says that a recent survey shows that when asked what was the most important life goals, 80 percent responded by saying they wanted to get rich and another 50 percent of those young adults said they wanted to become famous.  He goes on to say that were constantly being told to work harder and achieve more. That in order to have a good life we need things. He asks the audience what would happen if we could watch our whole lives unfold through time? What would happen if we study people from the time we were teenagers to the old ages to see what really kept us happy and even healthy? In fact, they did that. “Over the past 15 years, I’ve studied technologies of mobile communication and I’ve interviewed hundreds and hundreds of people, young and old, about their plugged in lives. And what I’ve found is that our little devices, those little devices in our pockets, are so psychologically powerful that they don’t only change what we do, they change who we are. Some of the things we do now with our devices are things that, only a few years ago, we would have found odd or disturbing, but they’ve quickly come to seem familiar,just how we do things.” When the teenagers entered the experiment they were all interviewed and given medical exams. He says that “They became factory workers and lawyers and bricklayers and doctors,one President of the United States.Some developed alcoholism. A few developed schizophrenia.Some climbed the social ladderfrom the bottom all the way to the very top,and some made that journey in the opposite direction.”  He goes on to end his TED talk by saying that the people in the 75-year study were the happiest in their retirement. Where the people who had actively worked stopped. The people who fared the best were the ones who leaned into relationships with family, friends, and the community.
