Technology can substantially enhance patient care. Contrary to the notion that technology 'does' the nursing, nurses must be better-educated than ever before in information systems, to ensure that they are able to use technology in the most effective fashion possible. In fact, there is a great deal of concern that nurses are not technologically savvy enough and that nursing education does not give nurses enough confidence in how to use technology effectively. "Information technology (IT) is not a panacea, and will not fulfill its promise unless it is harnessed in support of foundational values.

In the novel, Wells describes the first time that the "Time Traveller" removes himself from reality: Landscape was misty and vague. I was still on the hillside upon which the house now stands, and the shoulder rose above me grey and dim. I saw trees growing and changing like puffs of vapour, now brown, now green; they grew, spread, shivered and passed away. I saw huge buildings rise up faint
Machine by H.G. Wells The Time Traveller explained that things, such as a cube, exists not only in space, but also in time, and that time is the 'fourth dimension.' According to the Traveller, it is possible to move around in the fourth dimension just as one would move around in the other three, which he refers to as length, breadth, and thickness, "...having only length, breadth, and thickness, can a
HG Wells' the Time Machine reminds me of the contemporary state of the world and its problems that can actually be reduced to three attributes: environmental causes, political conditions, and economic conditions.
