Digital technology has had and continues to have a major role in raising the efficiency of collective work and human solidarity. It is one of the positive aspects that technology has been able to contribute to in supporting humanity in general; by facilitating the delivery of this support to them.
On the occasion of the International Human Solidarity Day, which falls on December 20 of each year, our education Investment Company reminds everyone of a number of the facilities provided by technology, such as:
-
Collecting donations through various digital platforms
Through these platforms, technology has made it easier for everyone to support others through donations and financial contributions, without the need for a lot of time or effort. Rather, it has become a quick tool for human solidarity through the rapid support it provides in collecting donations as soon as various disasters occur, such as the need to donate blood or donations to help those affected by earthquakes.
-
Distance learning and e-learning
Technology has also contributed to providing education in various forms by making it available digitally, which ended the dilemma of distances, additional costs of transportation and accommodation, and provided the opportunity to learn in large numbers without the need to build more schools, and this strengthened scientific and cultural solidarity.
-
Innovation and solving human difficulties
Innovators have also helped humanity by providing modern technologies to solve many of the difficulties faced by humans through various applications, such as 3D printing technologies that have provided artificial limbs.
-
Emergency Technology
Digital technology has organized the coordination process and the transfer of information in emergency situations, which has greatly enhanced the control of crises, an example of which is the safety check feature provided by the Facebook platform, through which many people have been able to determine their status as safe, or to check on others, during disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and building collapses.
These were not the only aspects that digital technology benefited; human solidarity, but there are many, many living examples through which it improved the quality of life and social participation in a positive and intelligent way.
