I don’t know about you guys, but I sit in front of my laptop screen for like 10 hours a day or more, and sometimes I just get tired and I just start to hate computers. And then I would really want to find a job that has nothing to do with computers, but then I find the problem — There’s no such job!
Even garbage collection relies on computers somehow! Let’s see what the BlackBerry Binmen will do to the business.
Binmen are bringing Blackberrys to the high-stakes game of collecting garbage, proving that there isn’t a single job in the world where you don’t have to work with computers. The garbage collection agency “Biffa” is electronically equipping employees in an effort to speed up the service. They say staff can now communicated with home office and download maps, (but not Facebooks, twitters…this is more about business than entertainment) which raises the terrifying idea of trucks brimming with garbage tearing around at random in an extremely unpleasant version of Speed.
More usefully they’ll be able to instantly image examples of customers with overflowing bins or improperly-sorted garbage, so reality has finally caught up with the tinfoil-hat conspiracy theorists – there really is cellphone surveillance of your bins. And this new telecom-trash-tapping works both ways, with company-equipped GPS units able to track the trucks’ progress (and instantly tell them when they’re behind.)
I usually love cell phone games, and would like to have a taste of new cell phone apps, but I’m still new to this BlackBerry Binmen, and if you’ve got any further information on this, please tell me in the comments. And will this be an effective use of £1.75 million? Or would ten more trucks speed things further? Only time, and your trash, will tell. Let’s just wait and see.
