Try to walk around somewhere and discover technopreneur idea ...your experience(s) .. at least 2000 words
Here we go again, the long series of assignments though it was expected anyway, let us get down to business the techno way. A couple of days ago, I had travelled the streets of Davao City just to think of something techno, or should I say serendipity tour. Even though I almost circled the whole city, I barely thought of something good. But, I should try, I better shoot the star and miss, than shoot the sh*t then hit, in other words, I better be trying then failed than failing at all without trying. Even though, I will eventually learn something from my experience. The good news came, because just last week, when my tito informed me to get some package located at Talomo district, I got excited because it was my first time to travel at that place, I immediately asked for directions and jeeps to ride on. During the course of the trip, I passed by Davao Memorial Park. And then the serendipity tour kicks on. I immediately imagined that how about taking the bird’s eye view of the memorial park and then make a program out of it and present it via GUI form to the potential clients as well as the old ones. With a click and click, pan and zoom of a mouse, a client can see the overview or bird’s eye view of the memorial park. Also the client can see the vacant slots on the memorial park and the prospective client can make a reservation on that vacant slot for the future. Did you ever got lost on the memorial park when visiting someone else’s tomb, or should I say, when you visit a friend’s tombstone? Worry no more because there is an integrated map of the memorial park, thus preventing visiting people from being lost. Aside from being a virtual map of the memorial park, it will also act as an information center and advertisement hub. In addition, the program will display the names of the departed loved ones that are resting on each spot. Also the client can also access the virtual map via the internet by using personal computer or their very own mobile phone, the latter making it portable and on always on the go. I got to this idea because back in my hometown, our public cemetery was very crowded, you can easily saw the crowded and unarranged placement of the tombs, also going through and finding the tomb of your loved ones was a pain in the ass. It would be a great help if my idea will be implemented on my hometown’s cemetery and also for every memorial park / cemeteries around the world.
I was always fascinated by airplanes; I always ended up watching it whenever I saw one. Thus, another techno idea will be based on airplanes. Here we go. My techno idea goes like this: how about installing a navigation system on the airplane itself without relying on the ground traffic controller? This system will include voice guided navigation, voice operated system and collision detection system thus providing safety on the pilots as well as the passengers. This navigation system will utilize global positioning system making good use of the satellites up above the sky for pin point accuracy. Also this navigation system will show the pilot and co-pilot where on earth they are exactly and this system will scan the surroundings of possible approaching aircraft that is on their course and will notify immediately the pilots to avoid mid air collisions. In addition, this navigation system will include a weather tracker that gets updated every second so that the pilots will know before hand the change of weather along their course. I have seen some air accidents due to human error in the traffic control stationed in the ground courtesy of the National Geographic Channel’s Air Crash Investigations. Wherein the air traffic controller failed to notify the pilots that their planes are in the collision course, resulting to a fatal mid air collision between a commercial plane and an air freight plane, no one survived to that horrible accident. So, I imagined that installing the navigation system on every plane will be a great help to the pilots concerned as well as to the passengers.
Television sets had been greatly improved as time progresses. From simple black and white television to colored ones. And now the world had been enjoying the latest state of the art 3D TV, we also had LED ones. Plasma TV’s and LCD TV’s had their fingers crossed due to the advent of this latest technologies. But as technology pushes the limits of TV’s, only a unique spec can make or break a product catalogue. My other techno idea encompasses TV’s this time; let’s tackle it the future way. Join me after a short while. How about having a TV like the ones used in Minority Report? Wherein the users just have to wave /move / flick his hand to move things in the projected images. Also, the TV will have a motion sensor that will be used to register the different hand movements of the user, for example, instead of using the remote control to change channels or to turn the volume up or down, the user will just have to do a couple of pre programmed hand gestures in order for the channel to change and also for the volume. Waving your hand upwards makes the volume to go up, down means also to volume down, also by waving to the left or right; this movement will force the channel to change. And by making a circle sign, the user will access the TV’s menu; all you have to do is select and click. Just like touching a touch screen device virtually or touching it in the thin air, it’s the sensor’s job to register and perform the programmed action that is assigned to every movement. By using also the motion sensor, it can be of an advantage to save power, how? Just by simply detecting the slightest movements. If, the sensor can’t pick up or sense movements in front of the TV, then this force the TV to go to “sleep mode” thus saves some energy. I imagined this idea from the latest game consoles like Nintendo Wii, Microsoft’s Xbox kinect and Sony’s Playstation Move, wherein those consoles were equipped with a motion sensor and enabling the user to move their body in order for a command to register and perform. This will be a touch operated TV without having to touch it directly. I think there is currently no TV set that offers that functionality.
I always ride on a bus whenever I travel back to my hometown. Just around an hour and a half travel without bumping onto the busy and traffic road along the highway going northbound. Since I step my foot into Davao City, whenever I travel back to the city after visiting my hometown, I always experienced that every bus must have to stop for a while and let the armed soldier to come up the bus and inspect it, I always end up going outside and wait for the inspection to end up. It was quite a hassle for me for always going outside the bus. And due to these circumstances, I formulated an idea that in every inspection point, the government of Davao City should install an X-ray like device capable of detecting foreign and deadly baggages that may pose dangerous treats to security, peace and order. The bus / vehicle will just simply pass by and will be scanned for security reasons.This X-ray like will scan and its output to the screen will have a color thus indicating a dangerous items inside the bus. Also the X-ray device will utilize a radio signal jammer, this critical technology will be very essential because this stops / prevents any radio triggered detonators.
Today, mobile phones had become a part of our day to day living. We could not leave it behind our house. We use mobile phones as our alarm clock, replacing the old and traditional clocks that we had at home, in school or at the office. We use mobile phones to communicate with distant relatives and friends, we even use mobile phones for recreation purposes and networking stuffs. Truly, mobile phones are extensions of our own self. Mobile phones represent its owner. That is what I think about mobile phones these days. Some of us even transact businesses online over the mobile phone. When the worst case scenario happens, should I say, your mobile phone got stolen, how would we protect our sensitive data that still left on the stolen mobile phone?
