Essays on Pinpointing

Introduction

At present, the global positioning system (GPS) has helped in pinpointing locations and routes, saving time, providing fuel efficiency for aircrafts, and improving pilot performance. However, pilots and traffic controllers have commented on the lack of more accurate data and functionalities. Experts have also noted that GPS has a long way to go to make air traffic controllers more efficient in ensuring safe air traffic. With new technology being introduced in everyday activities, software developers and aircraft manufacturers will be able to introduce a more effective GPS in the near future (Wickens et al., 1998).

Introduction

The electric grid in the United States has been built way back in the 1890s. At present, it has been a by product of technological advancements which consist of more than 1 million megawatts of generating capacity passing through about 300,000 miles of transmission lines (“What is the Smart Grid,” 2012). With the utilization of new technologies, today’s grid is geared to a more stretched capacity which can manage the more complicated electric needs of the twenty first century consumers. Hence, the smart grid is developed in order to address the present demands of the modern society. This ...
