Technology and Midwifery

In the age of iPhone applications for midwives (e.g., contraction timers and "the wheel"), midwifery blogs and e-mails, we're aware that technology has increasingly become part of midwifery practice. While some may welcome these innovations, others regard them with caution if not disdain. We'd like to know how technology has affected midwifery from your perspective, particularly in the area of ethics for midwives. We look forward to your responses!
