This video initially grabs my attention by first , talking about topics that are new and constantly changing. The visuals that they have behind it showcasing what is actually going on in the robotic realm are amazing. I believe that actually narrators of the video give a good insight as to how this situation is prevalent to day, how it benefits people, and how it benefits the use of mankind. The video gives us relevance, location, and who is all involved.

Whats up in tech?- Looking to find out data in a speedy, watch out for “Ushahidi”

So whats going on in the tech world? As we know , data is very important as to how it tracks the movement of information. What if I told you that there was something out there that can allow you to see all types of data from the reach of your finger tips? I am talking about ” Ushahidi” – in Swahili means ” Testimony” , is a software program that allows everyday people to interact and learn of various things happening within that areas such as potential threats or dangers.

  • Being able to save and collect data.
  • Allows interactions with other users 
  • Beign able to retrieve data from other people that are using Ushahidi software

– Data Visualization / Alerts
