Goal-line technology An activity from the Metahuman unit.
OBJECTIVE • To weigh up the ethical, economic, social and cultural factors involved in the adoption of new technology.
Goal! We’re back in the game. Oh no! The ref didn’t see it. Not Fair!! We need goal-line technology.
How the technology works: Sensors in the ball detect cables under the goal line. If the ball crosses the line the referee gets a signal INSTANTLY. They use similar technology in cricket and tennis. It could reduce errors, but should we adopt it?
Look at the issue through different lenses: Ethical lens Cultural lens Social lens Decide which arguments are most important, and come to a decision. Prepare a presentation for the next FIFA board meeting. Make sure you explain your reasoning.
