Other EOTO Presentations
By Davis Trax
I love these EOTO presentations. It is a great way for us to go more in depth about are advancement in technology. Since I did the USPS, which is a communication technology, I thought I would talk about those presentations that spoke on the transportation of communication.
There were two presentations in particular that I enjoyed learning about and they were about drones and carrier pigeons, which I didn't realize were so pivotal and the advancement in technology. These were airborne forms of delivery. The one closest in relation to mine was definitely carrier pigeons, since they're birds and wouldn't be able to pick up 30 pound packages and carry across an ocean. They delivered letters for thousands and thousands of years before postal services began across the globe. They popularized sending letters in the first place. They were key to the further development of letter transportation which ended up leading to the creation of the United States Postal Service.
Then there are drones, which are UAVs that are used for all sorts of things, but they were originally made for military purposes. They would complete missions that were considered "too dangerous" for humans to try and attempt. The drones we use now are used for taking photos or videos or for delivering goods or for security. Their uses have increased exponentially. These are two examples of past and future for technology, as carrier pigeons were indeed the past and were pioneers, while drones are the future, currently being developed more and more. Technology!
