The TED talk by Katherine Kuchenbecker was extremely controversial and brought about different aspects of robots and AI that I had previously never thought of. Throughout her video, she focuses on Haptics, which refers to touch technology. As we are aware, this is one of the things that differentiates us from robots, thus the controversial debate begins. Should we give robots the power to feel and touch, just like humans do? I believe that there are both positive and negative outcomes that can erupt from doing such a thing. On the one hand it can be beneficial in some medical fields such as dentistry in which people would become more experienced and knowledgeable before they actually begin their job as a dentist as they would be able to detect cavities based on their feel through this innovative technology. Another example that I enjoyed learning about and thought that was great was when it comes to exhibit museums. There are many instances in which we are not allowed to touch a work of art or sculpture and it is very hard to imagine how if would make us feel. If this were to be achieved through this new technology without actually having to touch the sculpture itself, it could really change and challenge the way we see and experience art. However, although there might be some positive aspects to this technology, there are also disadvantages that come with it. I really believe that feel and touch are senses that differentiate us from robots and it is a difference that makes us special and unique. I think that giving up this privilege could bring about negative consequences within society and provide people with fake and false confidence. I think that if this technology develops, we have to be careful with the way we manage it and we should consider not completely giving up all of the things that make us unique and special such as the fact that we can touch and feel.

Sam is a health educator who works with international populations to increase awareness for safe sexual practices among adolescent age groups in two foreign countries. Sam is not able to travel to these respective sites and instead, will rely upon technology to deliver the health education program. Both populations are served by health education centers that have facilities available for teleconferencing as well as videoconferencing to allow Sam to engage with the target audience. Furthermore, at each respective site, there is a health education coordinator who is responsible for maintaining group webpages for sources of information. Sam can upload relevant program materials to these webpages and the audiences can access the materials for participation.

Sam is aware that most program participants do not have viable technology equipment at home and are fully dependent on the health education center for access to program materials. In an effort to serve individual participants more personally and specifically, Sam would like to institute a revised strategy. In her proposal, the health education coordinator would visit the homes of the member participants to conduct short interviews with their parents. In fulfilling this element of the program, Sam is considering using a tablet with an integrated camera. The health education coordinator will then enable video chat features to conduct the interviews with participants in their home.

What considerations should Sam keep in mind when utilizing various forms of technology tools for the practice of health education?

For this Discussion, consider the types of technology tools that you are familiar with and that you might be able to incorporate into a health education program. For example, if you use a smart phone/mobile phone, consider how sending health education content via text messages may be an effective way to reach a certain population. Consider social networking sites that you might use in the delivery of health education. Reflect on how these types of technology tools may hinder health education delivery if working with an underserved population.
