How Do These Technologies Work?

Technology has harnessed new things and made very small changes but are the big challenges, we can understand this with the help of live uses cases:

In my neighborhood, there’s one medical store which has been in working condition for 30 years. The store owner is a good friend of mine and used to ask many questions. I got very curious about the things in the medical line.

One day we had a good talk on using technology in the pharmacy. I asked him many questions but the best part was talking about the evolution of the medical store.

He said that anciently when he started the medical store he had to deal with the medicines and customers alone and it was an ad hoc situation sometimes because many years back there were no computers and developed software.

And later on, he had access to computers but did not know much about technological inventions. But with the help of some friends and technological colleagues, he set up his pharmacy system with software and new innovations which makes his task very easy.

We have the adverse effect of the pandemic that people started living with the non-living entity which is our phone; that time makes us used to online doctor consulting, video chat and the use of pharmaceuticals and healthcare apps increases.
