The introduction of electronics and technology as third umpire or fourth umpire is thought as in invasion to the glory of cricket to some school of thought. But there is another school which feels that the use of technology especially in decisions taken by umpires is just a practical implement of the game to make correct decisions. There had been lots of instances in the past when umpire’s wrong decisions prevented players from making records, scoring good runs and teams losing games. Now with the blend of umpiring and modern technology there is little chance of such mistakes and there would more practical way to take decisions in crucial situations.
In cricket the umpire is actually a symbol of neutral and unbiased decisions that are taken in the game to judge situations. But in many instances the umpires fell from grace and the umpires simply started losing the confidence on the pitch. Therefore the ICC felt that there was need of enhanced role of an impartial electronic umpiring on cameras which would help the umpires take fair decision and also put a practical approach in the game. The ICC is looking forward to the referral system of umpiring in which the electronic umpiring would have more efficacy of electronic umpiring over human umpiring.
Will modern technology improve umpiring system of cricket?
To err is human! There are certain instances in the game when human minds and senses cannot work so quickly and effectively to make correct decisions. The cricket world is basically unhappy with caught behind appeals, LBW outs, close ground caught, run between wicket outs, and others. The modern technology with advanced software and innovative system can help umpires to have a better look at the situation and take correct decisions on the appeals. Therefore umpires must not feel that introduction of such umpiring and modern technology is a way to cut their roles. It is actually a helping hand to them to make the game more practical and fruitful. There won’t be any chances of people and players getting dejected from wrong decisions.
On a sudden appeal the umpire on the on field raises his hand and point the index finger top, indicating the batsman out. But the replay on TVs and other screens show that there is no touch of the ball to bat or handle. When the player sees the replay later on he feels dejected and losses the spirit of the game and the spectators too lose the rhythm of the sport. Wrong decisions have negative impacts on player and people. Therefore there needs to be a fair system where decisions taken are correct and practical. Armoring umpires with modern technology is actually a way to take the game to more spirited level. Thus, modern technology will definitely improve umpiring system.
Summary: The use of technology especially in decisions taken by umpires is just a practical implement of the game to make correct decisions. There had been lots of instances in the past when umpire’s wrong decisions prevented players from making records, scoring good runs and teams losing games. Modern technology will definitely improve umpiring system

In 1991, a small Medieval prayer book was sold at auction. Miraculously, some original writings of Archimedes, the brilliant Greek mathematician, were discovered hidden beneath the religious text. Through scholarly detective work with the help of modern technology, this book now reveals Archimedes’ stunningly original concepts, ideas, and theories—revelations that, if known sooner, might have reshaped our world. Many historic figures have been hailed as ahead of their time. Few—if any—are said to be centuries ahead of their time. The Einstein of his era, Archimedes had a sophisticated understanding of mathematics, and designed marvelous war machines for his native Syracuse to use against the invading Romans. Many of Archimedes’ works disappeared during the Middle Ages, but some survived to help inspire the scientific revolution in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. One document that seemed irretrievably lost was his final treatise The Method, which reputedly explained how he achieved his brilliant results—secrets he revealed nowhere else. Now, over 2200 years later, the discovery of The Method has experts and scientists dreaming of what might have been if Renaissance thinkers and other great minds had known of his ideas and been able to build on them. NOVA explores Archimedes’ rare writings, as well as the book’s mysterious beginnings, tumultuous history and amazing discovery. As the ancient text comes back from the dead, it unlocks its revolutionary contents—the <b>…</b>
Help answer the question about modern technology
Is modern technology a curse for the welfare of children?This is the motion I'm trying to debate: "This house believes that modern technology is a curse for the welfare of children"
I'm mainly looking at health risks, and the damage caused on their minds. I'm open to any suggestions, but I really need some help please!XD
Internet!!! You can communicate with many people online throughout the world! This is also how many companies communicate when they are helping clients from across the world. Also it has created so many jobs such as web design and development, internet marketing, online video etc.
[Quick answer:
It has definitely made our lives easier and more convenient but it has also made us more lazy than we should be. Innovation has obviously helped us, with cell phones, hybrid vehicles, and stuff like that, but in the case of cell phones, the question really is if we all actually need one in the first place -- it's really just a luxury good.
As for cheating, exam rooms just bar cell phones altogether now. You can't use them to communicate or use them as clocks. Being caught using one is too high a cost to pay for cheating.
Just some stuff to get you started. It seems more like an opinion question so you should have stuff to add as well.]
Pros:
The world is smaller (it's easier to contact/find people anywhere)
Information is sent/received with more speed/accuracy
Fights the horrors of boredom
Life is "made easier" (theoretically) with gadgets that cook for you, wash for you, iron for you, dry for you, calculate for you, record your life, etc.
In case of emergency, most everyone has a cell phone
Palm pilots, laptops/computers, and similar devices help organize full schedules
Automobiles make travel more comfortable and gets you there faster
…etc.
Cons:
We're all spoiled (that's an opinion, not necessarily a fact)
In case of a power-outage, most of our lives must wait until the lights come back on.
Conversation and relationships are often replaced with telephone calls, emails, and Instant Messaging
Everything is controlled by computers (well, not everything…), which lack common sense and personality.
The media can "steer" the culture it influences wherever it wants… example: body image, power=rich…
…all that to say, we've become lazy because technology does everything for us… the gadgets that were created to make our lives easier just make our lives busier (we have more time, so we do more things)… it's very easy to manipulate large groups of people, but then again, it's also easier to help large groups of people at one time.
You decide
I love my laptop, camera, MP3 player, Microwave etc… but I'm also somewhat addicted, and am often too lazy to go to the Cinema for a movie (I can download it), buy a CD (I can download it), go out for a nice meal (microwave something)… etc.
Hope that helped!
i was in the Louvre museum and i touch the Sumerian sculpture..it was definitely a watch.

One of the benefits of modern technology is that you can ask this question to thousands of people you will never meet.
One of the undesirable effects is that many people no longer can think for themselves.
Effects. 1. Your question 2. My answer.
iv got to say hes right on this one. the weird thing is all of this is even talked about in the Bible. it talks about the Flood, the giant Niphilim, Enoch and the Garden of Eden, the Stories of the Sumerian tie in Directly with things found in Genesis.
it would be utterly Impossible for men 6,000 years ago to Coincidently imagine these types of technological phenomenons without some sort of VISUAL EXAMPLES of them. when the Annunaki left, their technology left with them.
iLL .

you fuckin idiots, the egyptians invented ipod too
Dude, of all that stuff you just mentioned my channel is huge effing storehouse of information regarding that, drop by.
Technology is the downfall of our children. Look at all the ailments children now have due to inactivity because of technology.
Do you see kids outside playing tag, or other childhood games that would be seen up to & including the early 80's?
Granted they can find almost anything in a few moments on the internet & they can keep in touch with friends/family around the world in moments, but obesity is running rampant & childhood diseases are at an all time high due to all these video games, iPods, computers, cable & sateliite channels.
When I was growing up in NYC, I remember having Channel 2,4,5,7,9,11 & 13. THAT'S ALL. I was outside EVERY DAY playing softball, stick ball, wiffle ball, punch ball, roller skating, tag, fox & hounds & so many other things.
Now you rarely see children outside. It's a shame that technology is such a sharp double-edged sword.
im sorry this is just bullshit to me… if they were so advanced why havent we found a single shred of EVIDENCE….im not denying that some ancient civilisations were extremely advanced like the egyptians and aztecs however i thinks its just stupid to think they had such advanced tech. xD
The idea is to have a forward observer, maybe on a hill nearby. You take your best bet, fire a test salvo. The observer tells you where it lands, by flag signals, telegraph or telephone wires, heliograph etc, and you correct for it, up a bit. left a bit, sort of. Earlier artillery was mostly with ships, and the cannon balls were skimmed along the sea surface, at fairly close range, so they could hit the side of the ship, something like ten pin bowling.
Cell phone was not invented by a caucasian it was invented by Henry Sampson a black man.

Music, like the words in a novel, are the property of the one who wrote them. Downloading without paying is pretty much the same as stealing a CD from Barnes & Noble.
We just make it different in our head, but, you're taking what the band created, without paying the band. Listening to the radio is different. The radio (even on the NET) is providing that service, WITH the band's approval.
Napster, and other sites are providing the music, withOUT the band's approval.
