Technology Saves Lives
While most of us rely on mobile electronics and technological advances for a variety of everyday functions, in both our personal and professional life, it is easy to forget how far technology has come—and even take technology for granted. While technology positively impacts us all, many modern advances are saving lives around the world.
Calls Attention To Lesser Known Non-Profits
Websites and social media can be marketed to a global audience, and for far less of a financial investment than trying to market a non-profit through offline channels. To maximize results, many charities and foundations work with a SMO company to hyper-target the region and audience they want to attract. For many non-profits, this means they now have more funds to provide their life-saving or life-changing services.
Spreads The Word About Global Injustice
Regardless of our differences, we are all a member of the human race. It is easy to get so caught up in our daily lives, that this is sometimes easy to forget, or we lose track of life outside of our community, or country. Technology keeps us in touch with friends and family around the globe, and provides instant access to both formally reported and independent news and cases of global injustice. Consider how many times a mobile phone video has gone viral—without social media marketing—providing a real-time account of injustices on humanity. These video accounts are sometimes the evidence required to ratify and prosecute injustice.
Improved Communication Saves Lives
As improved technology such as the Internet and mobile electronics begin to reach a growing number of third world countries and remote communities, communication improves and lives are saved. This includes dispatching emergency responders, accessing medical experts via telemedicine, and immediate communication with loved ones in times of crisis. Technological advancements have improved communication even here in Canada. For example, if your vehicle breaks down in the middle of nowhere—you can dispatch your emergency car service, or call for help on your mobile phone.
Increased Access To Information Helps To Combat Poverty
Knowledge is power, and access to online resources provides access that can inform and educate anyone who desires to learn more. From attending school online to accessing a variety of DIY learning tools—everything from basic to advanced skills can be learned online. By improving access to formal and self-driven education, you open a window to a world that can inspire individuals to rise from poverty. Online resources provide access to a range of skills including basic reading and writing, secondary education, or learning a new language by watching online videos.
The next time you find yourself looking at online media or the website of a non-profit based in a foreign country, take a moment to consider how lucky we are to be able to connect with all of humanity from anywhere with Internet access.
