When I surf around the web… or you may say when I waste my time on the web… the things I usually look in the net are technologies… new inventions or gadgets… and of course current news.

So, this time I’m gonna talk a little bit about this tracking device I came across on the net while I was killing my time sometime ago. It is a vehicle tracking device… a little black box. Well, usually only aircraft has black box… but nowadays, vehicles too need black box. And talking about black box, the black box in the aircraft is not black in color but bright orange.

So this little black box from getisight.com for vehicle tracking is a tiny box in black color. It has most of the standard features in vehicles tracking devices such as it is installed discreetly, can be monitored in real time thru the web and the most important feature, GPS, which helps to pinpoint the current location and speed of the vehicle. I’m not going to discuss much of its features, but you can get its first hand info from its website… I just want to direct my readers to the right place and learn more about the things I’m talking about… 😀

Do you know that the safest mode of transport is by air, yet still not many people prefer to travel by air.

Comparing the total number of accidents with death between road and air, it shows that road fatality is much higher than air fatality.

Anyway, on 3 December 2009, two jet planes almost collided in Atlanta mid-air. With all the sophisticated instruments on board the planes and also at the airport control tower around the world like radar, ILS, GPS, etc… still near misses occur… but almost all cases are not caused by the instruments, but human error.

Lucky, with the sophisticated instruments, although human error occur, these instruments manage to avoid disaster at the very last few seconds by taking over the plane or by warning the pilots.
