Best Uses of Digital Sports Technology Today
Today Digital technology has come a very long way. According to Dmitriy Gamarnik, author of Best Uses of Digital Sports Technology Today, “at first the sports universe was hesitant but now they have embraced it with open arms. In this article I would like to tip my cap to the impressive and custom ways teams and leagues have incorporated technology in sports.” The Tampa Bay Buccaneers for example traded in their oversized play book for a in improved method of todays technology, all the players was handed a iPad2 to study their plays, as well as the ability to watch films of games, team meeting material, and etc. This made everyone job a little easier, and gave the players a new gadget to “play with”. The iPad2 is also equipped wit a tracking device that if lost or fall into the wrong hands, the information installed on it could easily be erased, “with a simple push of the button.” The Major League Baseball “has always been one step ahead of other leagues in embracing digital technology”, according to Gamarnik, they have achieved several different avenues using technology. For Example:
- · In 2005 the launched MLBlog.com
- · In 2002 they started providing their fans live games over the website
- · In 2008 they joined the “iPhone” app market
- · In 2010 they tested a new iPhone App that allowed their fans to be able to order food and drinks without getting out of their seats.
Overall, MLB is always aiming to please their fan and will go to almost any extent to do so, including providing them with T-Mobile newest phone, the Android to rent for $10 and tryout during the game, in order to promote the device, as well as giving them the most up-to-day digital technology experience.
