The first meaning mentioned by the dictionary of the <strong>Royal Spanish Academy<\/strong> (<strong>RAE<\/strong>) refers to the <strong>grouping elements<\/strong> that act together and in a coordinated way to develop a function.<\/p>\n<p>For example: <em>\"My grandmother has a device that kneads and cooks bread in a few minutes\"<\/em>, <em>\"I would like you to invent a device capable of ironing and ordering clothes automatically\"<\/em>, <em>\"The government announced a millionaire investment in high <strong>technology<\/strong> to improve hospital services \"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>An apparatus, in this sense, is a <strong>machine<\/strong> made up of various pieces.  A television, a scanner, a car, a microwave oven and a washing machine, among many other devices, can be considered as appliances.<\/p>\n<p>Although we can cite a list of devices of a truly considerable length, it is not the variety in which this concept manifests itself today, but the weight it has come to have in our lives.  Something that only in the second half of the twentieth century could be a luxury that only the wealthiest families could afford, such as buying a <strong>TV<\/strong> or a stereo, it has multiplied exponentially and today it is not only normal, but \"necessary\".<\/p>\n<p>It is no longer necessary to charge a hefty salary at the end of the month to purchase appliances, since the great competition and the increasing demand of the last decades has given way to mass production, with the consequent reduction of <strong>prices<\/strong>.  Any middle-class person can access a series of devices that allow them to enjoy their free time and facilitate the typical tasks of household maintenance, such as cleaning and preparing food.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Aparato.jpg\" alt=\"Apparatus\" width=\"260\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-47840\"\/>The most worrying characteristic of this era is that many people do not stop to think if they need a device before buying it, but rather are influenced by the media and invasive advertising campaigns, which convince them that <strong>they need them if they want to be part of society<\/strong>.  This phenomenon especially attacks the most insecure, those individuals who cannot bear the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing judged for not adapting to the impositions, and in this way the market moves millions regardless of the quality of the products. <strong>products<\/strong> and services it offers.<\/p>\n<p>In the field of <strong>biology<\/strong>, the apparatus is called <strong>organ group<\/strong> that are involved in the same function.  The <strong>respiratory system<\/strong>To cite one case, it is made up of the trachea, bronchi, lungs and other organs dedicated to absorbing the oxygen present in the air to carry it to the blood and, simultaneously, to expel carbon dioxide from the body.  The <strong>digestive system<\/strong>, the <strong>circulatory system<\/strong> and the <strong>reproductive system<\/strong> are other examples in this same context.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>set<\/strong> <strong>of individuals or objects<\/strong>, both physical and symbolic, can also receive the name of device: <em>\"The Nationalist Party summoned its apparatus to protest against the government's decision\"<\/em>, <em>\"People are not satisfied with the functioning of the judicial apparatus\"<\/em>, <em>\"The environmentalist candidate regretted not having an apparatus to support him\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The instruments used to carry out training exercises <strong>gymnastics<\/strong> and the device that allows <strong>correct defects<\/strong> of <strong>Body<\/strong> of a human being, finally, they can be called devices: <em>\"I was training with devices\"<\/em>, <em>\"When I was a kid, I had to wear braces on my teeth\"<\/em>.  Although both examples refer to decisions related to aesthetics, dental appliances can be used to straighten severely crooked dentures and thus avoid complications that exceed the limits of orthodontics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-center kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;center&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;198&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;apparatus&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 19.2px;\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\">Rate this post<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The concept from apparatus comes from the Latin word appar\u0101tus and it&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":199,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-definition"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
