Emergency Services
This vital service that serves the country is reliant on technology to provide an efficient and effective life-saving aid that most people need at some time in their lives. Advances in technology that have helped the emergency services include the progressive network of phone lines and communication between the call-receivers and the emergency services such as paramedics, that need to receive details such as the incident's location. The emergency services also have cutting-edge GPS technology that tracks phone calls and text messages, further increasing the likelihood of emergency services reaching the incident. An example of this essential service's progression is the introduction of text messages to contact 999 in remote areas with weak service, making it more likely for the emergency service to reach them.
