Is Technology Making It Possible

When we turn on the TV to watch the news, how is that image being projected through our TV? When we call a family member on the other side of the world, what technology is making it possible? The main device being used to send those signals is a satellite. The creation of satellites was a huge breakthrough for technology; it gave the populace a chance to communicate with anyone on the planet. This technology has needed to change and evolve to meet the increasing demand of the world population. With this advanced development of technology comes risk. What have we accomplished with this technology and what have we yet to discover. From the beginning of the invention of satellites, technology has been evolving and enabled change that has given the world advance uses of …show more content…
The hacking of two US satellites in 2007 and 2008 proved that with the expansion of technology there are dangers in what we do. In the newspaper article written by (Werner, Debra. 2012), suggests that hackers could 've damaged the satellite or even turned off its communication services, resulting in millions of dollars worth of damage. With this data we can comprehend that anything is conceivable with technology and the consequences it can bring. There are still numerous possibilities with satellite technology. (Muri, P. ET.AL 2010) suggest with future research communication satellites could be made smaller. Resulting in less air traffic and also less materials used. This can be linked to (Bacsardi, Laszlo. 2005) journal article; he suggests that with quantum computing we can expand the distance of which we can send data to satellites, also reducing air traffic. With the public 's availability of technology we can see that someone can find a negative use for it. But the future can sometimes show change, with the development of new technologies there 's the possibility of greater
