New technology set on changing our world and the environment

November 14, 2017 Posted by Jonathan Adams Editorial No Comments

The modern age of technology has brought about technological advances and changes in the way we navigate our world. New tech aims to make our world better.

Technology Shaping The Future

Modern technology is not only shaping our world, it aims to improve it with a host of various technology-based approaches, for a cleaner and brighter planet.

The following technology allows for improved quality of life, which can help us make better decisions today for the future of our children, tomorrow.

Urban Noise Pollution

Pollution is much more than oil-ridden oceans, toxic waste, and radioactive pollution; noise pollution presents itself from dusk to dawn in our everyday lives. From traffic to construction sites, and more, these urban noises are overpowering, and also a form of pollution.

New technology promises that noise above 85 decibels, which is considered as noise pollution and harmful to our human hearing, will be able to measure these harmful noises and measure them using their smart phones.

NoiseTube, an open-source application, has been successfully implemented and used since 2008, collecting data from over 500 cities worldwide. Using NoiseTube, your smartphone collects data from its microphone. Although the results are less accurate than a professional sound meter, it is still a handy tool to determine precisely what your ears are being exposed to.

E-Classroom Learning

Schooling is a right and not a privilege, but in rural and isolated countries gaining an education that is current and up to date is a challenge. Thanks to innovate and forward thinking teachers and tutors, students from all over the globe can benefit from A-grade schooling.

Using the Internet and tools like Skype in the Classroom helps put thousands of students to their desired career path. Skype in the Classroom connects teachers for classroom projects.

Currently, virtual visits to other countries and regular chats between youth peace groups in Afghan uploading and downloading of video lessons are made possibly through Skype in the Classroom. This approach has and will continue to educate learners for as long as there is a connection to the Internet.

Mobile Public Transport Payment Systems

The public and/or global transportation industry is a forever growing and technology rich industry. The need to make payment methods easier and safer has taken to the latest and greatest payment systems for taxis, buses, and trains to shape journeys across the world.

Making reservations and making payments has never been easier, simply by using your Android, BlackBerry, and iPhone devices. What used to be a tiresome exercise now takes you a mere 30 seconds from reservation to payment.

Not only can users now track while watching their reserved taxi from their smartphones, an accurate estimated time of arrival is provided with a visual map of their coming transportation, which gives users full control over the experience, which is proven to be seamless.

Get Taxi is user friendly and can be downloaded in minutes for that peace of mind trip from the palm of your hand.

Parking Apps

Going to the mall for a day of fun on a well-deserved weekend is almost assured to be spoilt while driving around aimlessly looking for a place to park your car. Cities are becoming more congested and lack of parking has increasingly become the cause of unflattering road rage.  New technology has brought about a good few applications for download, which will save you fuel and time, which you’ll need to play your favourite games at NZD online casinos.

Applications that promise that sweet Voice-Spot include VoicePark, which directs you by voice, and in real time guiding you  to your desired new parking based on availability and cost. There are several applications of this nature available for download right now.
