The other day, I got an email from Indiblogger.in that asked for bloggers to blog about a technology that they wish existed. I am not sure if I ran out of time, but I feel that it is worth posting something on my blog on this topic.Everybody knows that "necessity is the mother of invention" and necessity has always been the primary reason for the technology. We apply technology right from the moment you wake up (alarm) till you go into a sound sleep (fan) at night.Technology is in every walk of our life.Technology is aimed at making your life easy but I noticed one situation where technology is in place but is not taken care of properly and it is that technology that I wish existed !!
It is - "Effective Management of traffic lights especially when one of the followers of traffic is an ambulance/personal vehicle with a patient in serious condition"
Traffic lights is a simple application of technology where the lights go green in a cyclic order letting traffic go in an ordered manner.Good so far, but what if the light goes red and there is an emergency ?
I spent 6 months in Toronto and I observed that there is a means for the Ambulance / Fire to communicate to Traffic controllers and let the lights go green in the case of an emergency.
I wish there be an toll free number like 100 where people can dial in, explain the situation and work with the traffic controllers and get out of the emergency situation fairly easily.
I await a process/technology to be implemented in India where people in an "emergency" communicate with "controllers" and seek help.
To me, it is a life-saver technology. I know that it is not as simple as it sounds, but I am sure there is a solution to it if we start thinking about it very seriously :)
