Although Christian Life Ministries, founded by Pastor Jackson Senyonga, is not a small organization in terms of the things it has done for the Ugandan poor, it only took one small effort to lead to a very big change in the Ugandan hospital system. 

When speaking at the Raleigh First Assembly of God in 2006, Pastor Jackson Senyonga hoped his message would embed itself in the heart of the listeners.  He hoped to receive support and educate his audience on the Uganda’s plight.  He couldn’t have ever expected the significance of his words to one particular listener, Dr. Michael Haglund, a neurosurgeon at Duke University in North Carolina.  Dr. Haglund had made several volunteer trips to Ecuador and was intrigued by Uganda’s quandary.  He contacted Pastor Jackson Senyonga and soon after, accompanied him to Kampala Uganda.  While there, Dr. Haglund spoke at a church service at Christian Life Church, the church founded by Pastor Jackson Senyonga.  The service was held at a venue much like an athletic stadium that housed 15,000 Ugandans.  Dr. Haglund spoke briefly with a vow to return with medical equipment.  As he finished his speech, he was commended with a standing ovation from the thousands of Ugandans; tears immediately rushed from his eyes at the thought of his chance to greatly change such a troubled nation.

The technology industry is often changing, evolving and innovating, as they are revolutionizing our lives and impacting the market. Our lives are so interconnected with technologies that it is difficult to establish whether or not we are controlling it or if it’s the other way around. New generation of users are routinely utilizing latest technology from an early age, this relationship between human and digital technologies will turn out to be even closer, making both of them indivisible in the future. These are five trends that may possibly deeply influence IT community and customers in 2011.Commercialization of Personal Information
Data mining won’t go away this time around. There are merely too many things at stake. Even so, firms that want to use personal information of on the web users really should pay for it. Privacy troubles that are generated by internet sites like Facebook, could still be present in 2011, but with the possibility of generating economic benefit for users. Firms will use this model since it allows a beneficial transaction between organizations and possible consumers. Consumer advocacy organizations believed that the notion was positive, permitting users to have larger control on the use of their personal information.Online Video
2011 will be the year where we will see a substantial growth of video on demand. There could be a change of attitude in video customers, following the arrival of HD technology. Users who watch videos on the internet, may possibly no longer content with short videos, instead they’ll seek to watch TV shows or movies on the internet. In that sense, main firms like Apple, Google and Amazon are at the forefront with their services and items, which enable video contents to be utilized on portable devices.4G Network
Smartphones will have stronger role in 2011 and high-speed internet connectivity via cellphones will still turn out to be a key trend. Far more men and women will be attracted to mobile devices and households will begin to get rid of cables for wireless. The introduction of 4G mobile networks, a significant improvement over 3G, may possibly trigger some users to abandon typical wired connections like DSL to connect their devices at residence by way of wireless technologies. But in 2010, it is likely that the percentage will still be little simply because the existing infrastructure could not meet the needs of advanced users who like to play online or stream video constantly. It is expected that by 2016, nearly half of households in developed countries adopt 4G mobile broadband as their major Net connection.Green technology
The technologies will be greener in 2011. High energy costs, economic crisis and the U.S. government support on green innovation, will bring an avalanche of creativity in the “green” business. Green technologies gives consumers a remedy to their energy inefficiency despite the economic crisis and the declining resources. There will be far more selections in the marketplace because the conditions imply that for the very first time, “green” goods can be lucrative.Mobile applications
There are over 400,000 mobile apps obtainable right now on multiple systems. Applications on smartphone are changing the industry and are creating a new model of technology usage.  One of the main benefits of mobile apps is the ability to transform a device into something that is much more than its original design. A smartphone can become a portable game console, a thriller novel, a teen magazine and several other people. Far better versatility in a tiny handheld device is some thing that customers will find practical and helpful.

Services compared to Doctors

There are times when a doctor will be called away from his or her office so that yet another patient can be treated at the hospital. The physician will not be back to the office for a number of hours. What does this mean for a patient who has an appointment at the office? If a nurse practitioner is offered, the receptionist or nurse can give the patient an option to see that individual. Most patients will be fine with this, but some may be much more confused as to the qualifications that a nurse practitioner has in comparison to their regular physician.

This is an everyday occurrence for patients. The Arizona Republic newspaper reported in February 2009, “During the past five years, the number of nurse practitioners in the United States has increased by nearly 40 percent, to 125,000, according to estimates by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.” It is thought this jump is since of a physician shortage and having a nurse practitioner is a way to offer health services to everyone when needed. A lot of have small or no information about nurse practitioners and just as several have misconceptions.
