What comes to mind when you hear the word pharmacist? Yes, medicine. I am sure that 98% of friends answer drugs. In fact, pharmacies don't just study drug questions. Cosmetics, packaged foods and so on are not free from Pharmacist expertise. A pharmacist has been trained to know the things mentioned above. Don't doubt the ability of a pharmacist. Never hesitate to ask things that smell about health to a Farrmasis.
As a Pharmacist, you should be able to understand well what health issues and treatments are growing rapidly. Talking about the development of information and communication technology, of course, a pharmacist must be able to use it well.
Industrial revolution 4.0 is being discussed warmly. What distinguishes era 4.0 from the previous era?
The concept of industrial revolution 4.0 was first introduced by Professor Klaus Schwab. The famous German economist in his book "The Fourth Industrial Revolution".
Industrial Revolution 1.0 (the first) is the invention of steam engines. This first industrial revolution took place at the end of the 18th century
Industrial Revolution 2.0 (the second) is the use of mass production equipment based on the division of labor. This industrial revolution took place at the beginning of the 20th century
The industrial 3.0 revolution (the third) began with the use of automatic systems, which are forms of computer-based work that make machines work without being controlled by humans.
The industrial revolution 4.0 (which is ongoing) is marked by the rapid development of information technology with communication, namely the cyber-physical system.
With easy access to information, of course there will be many benefits, especially for a pharmacist.
For example, we can expand and can easily demonstrate a drug or drug product so that it can be known among the public. We can also control drug abuse in the community. Now how? We can use social media in this case. By making content that contains interesting drug education, it can give a little insight to ordinary people. Through this, public knowledge about medicines will increase.
Not only for the people, especially for pharmacist friends, they can easily enrich their insights into the fields involved.
"As discussed earlier that the fourth Industrial Revolution has a major impact on the biotechnology industry, especially health biotechnology. The use of biotechnology in the pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical industries is the most influential development in the world of technology in the 21st century. In an effort to understand biology , eradicating disease and maintaining health and strength, biotechnology has reached a very high level in trying to discover the secrets of life and manipulate life.
To achieve what is promised biotechnology in the pharmaceutical industry and medical devices, it is necessary to identify molecular structures, the creation of active molecules and the development of novel and comprehensive therapies, such as immunotherapy, cellular therapy and organisms with genetically engineered cells.
However, a large amount of data and information is not enough to get new molecular entities and new therapies, because synthesizing millions of compounds will still not fill the world of potential or not molecular structures that will enable the identification of special three-dimensional structures that interact with the target. "
From the above sentences, it proves that the industrial revolution has a huge impact, especially in the field of pharmacy. This technology is widely applied to manipulate various biological materials that can be used as therapies for various conditions and types of diseases, especially those that are lethal.
The faster the information develops the greater the possibility of new drug discoveries to be investigated. When, this has been a lot of research conducted by utilizing the technology available in this era 4.0.
We cannot escape from 4.0 because we have indeed been in this age, what must be done is how to use it so that it can be useful.
It is undeniable that every age has their children. Being in this era should make us realize that we are children from this era that we should be making the present era the best era compared to previous eras.
The current information is not not negative. Among the myriad of positive impacts of course there is a gap that becomes black ink on white paper.
The rapid development of information actually makes mental decline. Technology is like a double-edged knife. He who develops him also destroys. It is precisely the easy access to information that makes us seem reluctant to learn things that are considered small that are easily obtained at the internet.
In fact, the size of a person's intelligence is not how agile he is looking for information on the internet but how to solve problems through thinking. Again, again emphasized in particular as a Pharmacist who is sometimes saturated with the science of combatants.
It's not easy to become a pharmacist. In addition to its ever-evolving knowledge, the materials that must be known by a pharmacist are also fairly dense and numerous.
A pharmacist is stressed again to be flexible with the development of the industry. Don't be a spectator in this matter. We must be the main actors in this case, which is not controlled by the development of information, but we must control the information.
