#21 article 4

When I think about the technologies that people benefit a lot from, there are lots of things jump out of my mind; however, there is one technology that I use it almost every single day and could not live without, which is the weather forecast. So I looked up on the computer and was trying to find out how the weather forecast technology has made people’s life easier. The article technology, corporation=accurate weather forecast said that due to advancement in computer technology and measuring devices, there are more accurate weather prediction than ever before. ­­ Human beings have benefited from information gathered by weather satellites. The mass of information from the orbiting recording stations is now more efficiently handled. I also read another information chart which compares two ways of doing the weather prediction—the ancient way and the new way. Comparing the old and the new one, we could see that data is now collected and processed at a higher rate, the quality of data collected has considerably improved the level and rate of information transfer and communication has increased multi-fold. Thanks to the modern technology, nowadays, people use modern equipments such as remote sensing system, advanced radars, weather satellites, etc to make the weather report more accurate than before. For me, the weather forecast is a great technology; it makes our life a lot easier by knowing the weather ahead of time and be well prepared. There are other technologies that are quite convenient to people. So it is easier to find and feel the advantages of the technology.
