Today, technology comes in every aspect of our lives, enabling us to find literally everything starting with lost items to unique objects, important knowledge, and ending with people. It seems today any complexity or query, such as how to sell coins, or how to write a decent essay, or where are my house keys can be solved with the help of technology. So today it seems that our world is a place where it is impossible to get lost or miss something really valuable due to modern advancements in technology. So today we would like to discuss how they are changing our daily experience, helping us to solve problems efficiently and save our time and energy.
Technology at Your Service
Search in Everyday Life
Modern gadgets and apps make heavy use of GPS, Bluetooth and cloud services. GPS enables you to track the exact location of objects, while Bluetooth helps you find things within a limited radius. Cloud services provide synchronization between devices and allow you to recover lost data.
These technologies are being integrated into smartphones, smart devices, and even simple trackers that make finding objects convenient and fast. So, today we would like to take a look at exactly how these technologies can help you in your daily life.
Phone
Probably the most popular search request is for a lost phone. Due to GPS and cloud services such as Google Find My Device or Find My iPhone, finding a phone is easier than ever. It is important to note that in case the phone is turned off, modern technology can help recover data using the last known coordinates.
For example, according to Apple, in 2023 there will be more than 100 million attempts worldwide to find a lost iPhone using Find My. And with apps like Locate 360, you can find devices even if they’re not connected to a network.
Keys and Other Small Things
Many of us have lost our keys or wallet in the most unexpected places. But the good news is that with Bluetooth trackers like Tile and AirTag, you can literally “sync” them to your phone: so, when you forget where you left your key, all you have to do is open the app on your phone and find it.
Car in the Parking Lot
Forever losing your car in a parking lot is familiar to every driver, especially in big cities or large shopping malls. GPS programs, such as Google Maps or specialized car trackers, allow you to save the exact coordinates of your parking space so you don’t have to waste time looking for it.
Lost Pets
Losing a pet is a horrible experience, but thanks to technology, it can now be prevented or solved quickly. Collars with GPS trackers, such as Whistle and Link AKC, enable you to track your pet’s location in real time. With a mobile app, you can see where your pet is. It’s important to note that statistics show that pets are returned to their owners 25% faster with these technologies than without them.
Search for Knowledge and Inspiration
Artificial intelligence, search algorithms, and access to huge databases and auction platforms are utilized here. Thanks to them you can search for information and find rare items and unique items online.
Rare Books and Study Materials
Finding rare books and study materials through online libraries and auctions has become a simple process. Using services like Google Books or specialized rare book search platforms, you can find books that would otherwise be extremely difficult to acquire.
Thus, according to some statistics, in 2022, more than 10,000 rare books were sold as a result of online auction searches, showing the importance of technology in finding and acquiring unique knowledge.
Unique Collectibles
Due to some online specialized platforms, you can easily find unique collectibles (from rare coins to antiques). For example, if you are interested in numismatics, want to know more about coins and find quality and rare pieces for your collection, you can use specialized apps and auctions to search.
For coins, for example, a useful tool can be the Coin ID Scanner app, which makes it possible not only to recognize coins, but also to estimate their value, degree of rarity and all the basic details, which greatly simplifies the process of buying and selling rare specimens.
Ideas for Creativity
Use Platforms like Pinterest and Behance to receive unlimited opportunities to find ideas and inspiration for creativity, e.g., unusual designs, projects or concepts to help you in your work or hobby. Artificial intelligence on such platforms helps recommend ideas similar to what you have already searched for, making the search process even more fun.
Search for Safety and Well-Being
GPS trackers and emergency services integrated into devices help you track the location of people and things in real time. Use modern possibilities to gain a long-awaited peace of mind and sense of security, which is important now.
Family Members or Friends
If you are worried about the safety of your loved ones, many apps like Number Tracker or Phone Locator allow you to track the location of your family members. This is not only useful when the kids come home from school, but also in emergency situations where it’s important to quickly know the location of an elderly mom, or to be sure your best friend is safe.
Stolen Items
With the help of technology, it’s now possible to track stolen items. For example, if your laptop or smartphone has been stolen, you can use built-in GPS trackers or cloud services to track its location. Specialized systems such as Prey or Anti-Theft can help you find your stolen property as well as remove personal data from it.
For example, in 2021, there were more than 2 million mobile device thefts reported in the U.S. alone, and in most cases, the use of technology helped return stolen property to its owners.
Emergency Assistance in Emergency Situations
When an emergency situation arises, such as traffic accidents or natural disasters, rescue services can use GPS trackers and SOS alerts to respond quickly. Smartphones with emergency calling and automatic location detection greatly increase the chances of quick assistance in a critical situation.
Forward to the Future!
Technology has made our lives amazingly convenient and safe, but it’s true value lies in the fact that it changes our perception of the world. We are no longer afraid of losing what is important (in the physical way) – be it time, knowledge or loved ones. Instead, we have gained the confidence that everything important is always nearby, just a click away. So, join and be a part of a new time, where technology guide us to a bright future, full of possibilities.
