Argumentative Essay On Advanced Technology

Imagine yourself in a place with brick phones, slow computers, and typewriters. This may be hard to picture but it was a reality back than. Now a days we have all sorts of technologies that help us examine and explore everything around us. The thing is, which one would be the most advanced for researchers and explorers to use today? After reading Florida Waters Treasure Hunters, Weather Reconnaissance, and Search for Ancient Civilizations, the sattelite would be the most advanced technology researchers and explorers would use today.

The first technology was known as the Mailbox . It may seem like a unrealistic name but it was acually a real thing. It was first created by a man named Mel Fisher, the mailbox is a tube made out of metal and has a angle of 90 degrees. This machine sends jets down to the ocean floor which moves the sand away. This wasn't as much of a advancement as the sattelite because it was a heavy load to carry around with you and if you have a small boat it was be dragging you down. My evidence to support my answer is on paragraph 8 in, "Florida Waters Treasure Hunters" it states, "A mailbox is a large metal tube that is bent 90 degrees, like a elbow. The tube has a diameter several inches larger than the width of the boats propellers." This exemplifies

that the satellite would be more advanced because you don't have to worry about it "falling" or touching it.

The next technology was the AT-6. This was a fighter plane desighned for two passengers and was the first plane to fly through a hurricane. This plane had a chance to make history if it made it through. Two people named O'Hair and Duchkworth decided to fly into a hurricane, even though a plane held their lives. This isn't a good thing for researchers and explorers to use today because it was to unstable. My evidence to support that is, underneath the picture of the two planes in " Weather Reconnaissance" it states, " the little plane was tossed all over like a toy" This demonstrates that the sattelite is the most advanced for explorers today because they are made of strong material, and are stable. The third technology was te Dropsade Hurricane Sensor. This included a GPS, sensors, a square-cone, and controls. What pilots do is they drop the sensor from high altitudes and collect data of the air conditions. This would not be the most advanced for researchers and explorers today because we have better weather readers that can tell us conditions right from the roof of a building. My evidence to support this is on paragraph 11 of, " Weather Reconnaissance it states, " by knowing about the conditions that a weather system will meet as it moves up the east coast. forecasters can more accuratley predict a nor'easter's impact." This shows that the satellite is more advanced for researchers and explorers today because, you don't have to fly up all the way in the air any more to check weather conditions, the satellite can do that.

The next two technologies are the LIDAR and the GPR.

LIDAR stands for Light Detection And Ranging, which is used to mesure distances and was invented in 2009. GPR stands for Ground Penetrating Radar, which is used to create 3D data high above the ground. Even though it ties close with the satellite they they both still are electronical and could crash whenever. My evidence is that on paragraph 7 of " Search for Ancient civilizations" it states that, " Light Detection And Ranging is a remote sensing technique that uses pulsed laser to measure distances." This exemplifies that the satelite is the most advanced for explorers and researchers to uuse today because it's more reliable, and

sufficent.

Now that I talked about all the reasons why it is not the other technologies lets talk about why it's the satellite. The satellite is the most advanced type of technoloy for researchers today because it provides visual help from orbiting planets to help guide you to whereever you need to go. A piece of evidence is on paragraph 1 in, " Search for Ancient Civilizations" it states, "At one time, secrets of ancient Egypt were found by trudging across scorching deserts on camels, guided by tattered maps. That approach is a thing of the past. Modern exlorers use satellites orbiting the planet about 400 miles above ground." This quote proves that satellies were the most advanced for researchers and explorers today.

All in all, the satellite was the most sufficent and advanced type of technology for researchers to use today because it's care-free, can handle strong conditions, and most reliable out of all the other technologies. Remember that the next time you go on your computer.
