Over the past several weeks and even last year we have heard of several instances regarding a failure in technology. One of the issues was the 5G Network rollout that concerned whether the technology would interfere with an aircraft's ability to conduct instrument approaches. Another event that happened several weeks ago was Southwest Airline's computer system failure that caused the entire airline to delay and ultimately cancel flights for several days. Lastly, just a couple days ago the FAA NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions) system went down causing a nation-wide ground stop for commercial aviation for several hours until it was fixed. These problems have come from a lack of investment in new technology and preparation for advancement in in this industry.

This week pick one event listed above to research more and discuss the event or a similar event (not mentioned above) involving the planning and rollout for new technology. What technology was involved and why is that technology important to the industry? What were the causes for the failure, who was impacted from it and how were they effected? Then answer, what would you have done differently to prevent it and why?
