Center for Prevention receives an upgrade
The Center for Prevention has unveiled their new, state of the art monitoring system, which will help them prevent like never before.
These government operated surveillance cameras are just two of many that occupy every street and home in the world.
“We founded the Center with one goal in mind: prevention,” said Gary Whittaker, president of the Center for Prevention. “If there is something going on somewhere, or something happening, well, we would like to prevent that thing. Now, with our new system, we’re going to be able to prevent more things than ever. I could not be more thrilled with our engineers, who worked tirelessly on this program.”
Lead architect of the program, Hans Zweiler, described the new, sophisticated network of devices as a “remarkable achievement of technology,” which would likely “help prevent things that nobody thought could be prevented before.”
“It’s actually a simple concept,” Zweiler said. “Through government contracts, the Center is able to tap into the existing data collection framework and monitor every event and interaction through personal communication devices. The data is sorted by A.I. and different algorithms to detect things that are going to happen, and from there we can use location data to dispatch prevention agents.”
The ‘pigeon’ is one of many species of birds that occupies large cities. Humans are advised to respect the birds and refrain lurking in shadow or behind objects where the birds cannot see a clear picture of their face.
The Center, founded in 1952, has a long and storied history of prevention.
“My great grandfather wanted to see a world in which everything was prevented,” Whittaker said. “With this new system, I feel like we’re one step closer to seeing his vision realized.”
“Prevention is almost like and art form,” said Carter Williams, a prevention agent for the Center. “You have to know what kind of situation you’re going into, and what you’re trying to prevent. There’s definitely room to be creative, lots of situatioins can be prevented in different ways.”
Whittaker said the new system would enable the Center to prevent even the most insignificant events.
“We’ve prevented things like job promotions, weddings, fires, arrests, things like that,” Whittaker said. “Now we have the technology to prevent sneezes, winks, a bad jukebox song, and anything in between. It’s very exciting.”
