Picture the scene, you are with friends at the local swimming baths when one of your friends slips when attempting to dive into the pool and bangs their head. Help is likely to be available in the form of a lifeguard but the fact is despite swimming pools generally being safe, regulated environments, there are still about 15 deaths by drowning in swimming pools each year.
When you realise that in Great Britain each year there are about 350 million visits to public swimming pools as well as visits to pools at leisure clubs, gyms, hotel, holiday parks and at home it is safe to say most swimming pools are a safe environment. However, 15 deaths by drowning is 15 deaths too many so if anything can be done to reduce this figure whilst also providing improved health and safety practices to pools and leisure centres then surely they would take it. Well the good news for swimming pools, hotels and other leisure facility providers is that modern two way radio can now be used to improve their health and safety.
The government has recognised that it is essential that children learn about the principles and skills of water safety and survival, which is why swimming is a compulsory component of the PE curriculum in primary schools. By the age of 11 all children must be able to safely swim a minimum of 25 metres.
So with more children swimming at an early age and with the London Olympic Games in 2012 no doubt likely to fuel further interest in sport, leisure and keep fit, there is every chance more and more leisure centres and swimming pools will be required. It is therefore vital that swimming pools have procedures and fail safe communication systems in place for members of staff to stay in touch and communicate an accidents or incidents that may happen.
One such system is the new waterproof two way radio systems. Being waterproof of course is ideal for use by lifeguards and swimming assistants. The good news for leisure centres is that they can take advantage of these waterproof 2 way radios pool side and make sure staff stay in touch and pool users are kept in safe surroundings.
Traditionally, two way radio has been used as a safety and communication tool in businesses including factories, schools and retail outlets where their staff need to stay in touch over a wide area whilst also having no call charges. And with the new waterproof 2 way radios, swimming pools and sports centres can make sure their staff stay in touch and can immediately report accidents and other incidents. Not only will this increase their safety and performance but it will also ensure that if an incident does happen in their pool they can report it immediately and steps can be taken to ensure serious incidents and possible fatalities can be prevented.
With so many people and children in particular using swimming pools, leisure and sports centre managers and owners now have the option to make their facilities as safe as possible with two way radios. As business owners there is nothing as important as the safety of our staff and customers so modern technology is now available that can make your business safe and not sorry.

Help answer the question about modern technology
How do you think modern technology has influenced (traditional) music?Do you think people should pay when they download music from the internet (or, listen to music online)? (Why?)
What's your opinion on the question of the piracy of music?
In what ways do you think modern science and technology, especially the internet, will affect (will change) the music industry?
[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.]
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.
i was in the Louvre museum and i touch the Sumerian sculpture..it was definitely a watch.

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.

Yes, instead of answering these questions, I should be praying and/or reading the Bible.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
wow i wanna smoke the same shit,
…
@ravendearest “as a native American and a practicing witch” your a fucking idiot
Dude, of all that stuff you just mentioned my channel is huge effing storehouse of information regarding that, drop by.
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
Cell phone was not invented by a caucasian it was invented by Henry Sampson a black man.

you fuckin idiots, the egyptians invented ipod too
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!
