We are completely dependent on technology and even if we try to deny it, it only furthers the argument that we are in too deep. By a show of metaphorical hands, how many of you have had an existential crisis causing you to burst into tears and rip the artwork off your walls in search of your phone? Maybe it wasn’t this serious but you felt anxious leaving the house without your smartwatch or wireless headphones.
Taking this tangent one step further, I can assume that even though you’ve driven to a family member’s house dozens of times, you still throw their address into a GPS app “to avoid traffic.”
Studies have shown that our societal codependence on technology has resulted in more people being diagnosed with anxiety and depression. In addition, the use of our favorite social media platforms or games is causing us to lose our memory. Wait, where was I? Oh right, you see!
Some analysts suggest that we’ve given up on memorizing information because why memorize when you can search online and have an answer instantaneously. In addition to our dependence, some data scientists believe that because we’ve become hooked on our devices, we’ve actually stifled the future of innovation for devices.
In the late nineteenth century, humanity traveled around on horseback, but this came with its own set of issues because our one-horse-powered friends grew tired, would get disease, and were all around nefficient. Rather than try to conceptualize new methods for taking care of equine transpiration, we invited the automobile. In the case of smartphones, every year or so, a new device comes out with little to no differences compared to models from previous years. This is because we have stunted the growth of the tech sector with our dependence.
However, we are not without hope. There are certain technologies that have been developed to improve our quality of life while simultaneously nurturing a healthy independent relationship between woman and machine. I’m, of course, speaking in reference to the food delivery sector of the global tech industry.
According to recent statistics, the global food delivery mobile app market is projected to reach $16.61 billion in value over the course of the next few years. For those unfamiliar with the nascent sector, food delivery apps allow consumers to place an order from the restaurant of their choosing and within a reasonable time frame, a courier will deliver their order. Though food delivery apps allow for the increase of access to food for individuals living in areas with little to no meal options, some companies have taken the on-demand app marketplace to the next level.
Enter ParcelPal Technology Inc (PKG) (PT0.F) (PTNYF), a delivery tech company dead set on innovating, fabricating, distributing goods to consumers to improve their quality of life. At a time where access to food and supplies is difficult for millions of individuals, ParcelPal is determined to do what it takes to deliver to consumers what they need to get by. The Company recognized the systemic inequities that exist in society and sought to challenge tech industry norms and focus on consumers.
The Company has managed to develop and maintain an easy-to-use marketplace platform where customers can shop for the products they love and use every day and, rather than pick these items up from locations that could be difficult to travel to, ParcelPal couriers deliver orders to customers in an hour or less.
ParcelPal Technology Inc (PKG) (PT0.F) (PTNYF) announced at the tail-end of January that the Company has formed partnership with MADD Canada to aid in the continuous fight to prevent impaired driving. As part of the ParcelPal’s national rollout campaign, advertising for ParcelPal’s service will be seen across the country in various educational forms. Together, MADD Canada and ParcelPal will launch a national awareness campaign focused on educating Canadians on the dangers of impaired driving and the options they have for getting items they want or need without leaving the party.
