Is technology my friend?

Having the right equipment and knowing how to properly use it is absolutely essential to any kind of job. Could you imagine a carpenter who didn't have a hammer or know how to use a tape measure?Would a physician operate if there was no scalpel or knowledge of suturing? Just like these examples, a career in medical language requires having a computer and other items and knowing how to use the items. Further, making lots of money as an MLS requires not only having the right equipment and knowing how to use it, but to be very proficient at it, knowing all the short-cuts.
