Techy-fy the Government :P

For the first part of our reporting in class, two reporters, Mr. Gotuaco and Mr. Chan, presented their potential solutions that may help solve some government related problems.

First, Mr. Gotuaco proposed an Electronic Early Warning Device for Highway Construction Zones. We often see a lot of constructions along highways. A lot of people also get involved in accidents around these construction areas. So what Mr. Gotuaco thought of is to set up an Electronic Early Warning Device that would warn motorists whenever they are approaching a construction zone ahead. Basically, we would need to place a small computer in every vehicle. These computers would have alarms that would go off whenever they are near construction zones. The construction workers would also have a computer on the construction areas so they could send off the prerecorded signals. I think this is a brilliant idea because not only would it save the motorists the hassle of getting into traffic jams near construction areas, these may prevent accidents from happening and save lives.

Second, Mr. Chan thought of implementing a One Sim Per Person Policy. Since we frequently receive spam text messages or prank calls and the like, a One Sim Per Person Policy would help eliminate those. Through the One Sim Per Person Policy, unknown numbers or numbers not in your phonebook would not be able to contact you. You would have to save each other’s number on each other’s phone to be able to text or call someone.
