Other technology which has had a major impact in offices and business throughout the world, are fax machines, which enable people to fax important documents and purchase orders through to avoid delay.  Photocopiers – allow for the copy of large manuscripts, books and documents.

In hospitals the progression in technology really has had a massive effect on the diagnosis of diseases.  MRI scanners have enabled doctors to detect tumours and disc prolapses early, meaning that early treatment can begin.  Ultrasound scanning has made it possible to find early defects with babies, in order that they can receive treatment on arrival and if necessary be delivered prior to the due date.
