High Tech Saves Lives
Wars have plagued many countries for many years. Most of them have ended, but they have left behind their mark. The deadliest war leftovers are by far landmines.
Their main victims are small children, because, as scientists explain, they are lower to the ground than adults so their vital organs are closer to the explosive force of a landmine.
Lately, High Tech devices and software have begun to help reduce the number of victims made by the mines.
To point out the usefulness of these high-tech devices we can take the example of Croatia. Here, between 1990 and 1999 there were 130 land mine casualties annually. After high tech software was installed in 2000 the number has dropped to around 30.
But how exactly does high tech software save lives ? Well, it takes the information it uses from a variety of sources including military, paramilitary and ordinary people. Next, the information is compiled and sent to de-miners, which are able to find and defuse the mines quick.
Of course, there are still a lot of mines left out there, but high tech software and devices are beginning to save more and more lives.
