On the other hand, another developed and advanced type of technology could be the weather sattelite planes. While it may seem like this would not be helpful, it does assist with predicting future weather reports. The LIDAR does not tell researchers of the future, it provides a 3D view of the ground surface and information of the past. For instance, the …show more content…
In addition, this type of aircraft has had a huge impact on the saving of lives, while the LIDAR does not do anything of the sort. During Hurricane Carla, forecasters predicted that "Hurricane Carla would land less thatn 100 miles west of Galveston...the storm inflicted winds of 120 miles per hour..." (Caldwell, 6). This mere prediction of the data brought by weather satellites saved many citizens of the Gulf Coast.
However, the LIDAR provides information that researchers could not believe or expect. The LIDAR has changed the way archeologists view the ground surface. The LIDAR is the most advanced of the three technologies, providing a 3D view of the ground, in just a little amount of flying.The reason to why this is so impactful is because
