In the past 10 years, we have seen technology take a huge role in our daily lives. As a teacher, I now take attendance, post grades and create homework links online, and so on. Some forms are supposedly to make us more efficient and save time. I have seen some very scary things occurring, though.

I have recently seen an increase in what is called hand, foot and mouth disease, and an increased number of cases have been reported to the county health department. Some countries outside of the U.S. have seen an even greater number of infected people.
