Farm For The Future

Technology has taken over the society and it is vital to today’s world, making life so much easier than before. Now technology has also taken over agriculture industry by transforming into a high-tech enterprise and replacing farm workers. Technological advancement brings benefit to famers by constructing a stress free and more cost effective agriculture. In today’s technologies, there are now flying robots and self-driving machinery which are able to automatically survey and treat crops. 

Inventors are now creating robotic field machines which helps farmers to perform tedious tasks such as hand harvesting fruits and vegetables. This robotic field machines have been used in some agriculture industry such as nursery plants, vineyards and fruits and vegetables. These machines are intact with GPS which helps farmer to determine the amount of fertilizer for each field and help to dispense the exact amount of fertilizer needed for each field. For example, in France vineyard there exist a robot called the “Wine Bot” and this wine bot helps in pruning vines, monitoring vine health and soil. The WineBot has a camera on top which helps to see the surrounding of the vineyard and two more cameras at both of the arms to check the vines. It helps to capture and record data from vines to vines and to recognize the plant features. With this WineBot, winegrowers do not need to worry about the quality of the pruning and it helps to save their time by walking around the vineyard.

All these advanced technology does bring benefits in agriculture industry in so many ways but there is also a bad side of it.  Although farmers are not needed for farming anymore for watering or harvesting the plants but this will cause them to lose their job. Besides, a large amount of money is needed also to purchase the machine.

Thermomix

I have learned that our world has been so advanced in technology. These days people around us have been so busy with their work, assignments, college, basically almost everything.  Sometimes, people can be so busy that they won’t be able to have a decent meal or even have the time to cook a meal for their own family or themselves. Mostly they would just call for delivery or they live on takeaways and there's this amazing invention that will help them to cook their own meal by just adding the ingredients into the machine. This machine is called the Thermomix, it will cook for you anything ranging from juices, pasta or soups. . The concept of this Thermomix is to help remove the hassle from cooking and prepare nutritious meal for the family or yourself. It provides 12 services, from chopping, to blending, to boiling and to cooking and all of these is done in one device. When it is so easy and fast to cook, family can spend quality time and food at home.This will help to save money from spending on takeaways and enjoy real quality food. besides that, Thermomix also helps to expand your ability to make something you never knew that you will be able to. Although Thermomix brings so much benefit there is also a bad side of it. What I feel if people are so dependent on Thermomix this will cause them to not be able to experience the real way of cooking and they will just fully depend on the machine.

The Hive

This blog is dedicated to all the working bees out there who we believe need technologies to make daily lives easier not necessarily faster. People are always on the go, major parts of the world are always out and about, just like bees. You see, every worker bee is important to the hive, every hive is important to nature, nature is important to us humans, like oxygen. We just can't live without bees. Without these mother nature's little helpers working their hardest everyday, we won't exist for long. With that in mind, think of the working bees who clock in and out everyday daily to fulfill their jobs and tasks because it may seem like it is small and unimportant to some but what they are doing makes a whole lot of difference to their company or their "hive" as well as the society. Same goes to bees, they are small but they do a whole lot without us realizing it.
