Technology has revolutionized the way processes and procedures are carried out. The effects of changes in technology over the years are sweeping across almost every sector known to man. Human beings used to initially carry out most of the tasks that are performed by use of computers today.

Technological devices and gadgets such as phones have led to the disintegration of the society.
The quality of life has to a very great extent improved as a result of the changes in technology that are getting better and better. The transportation industry is one among the many that are enjoying the benefits brought about by improvement in technology. An example is the development of electronic systems that facilitate the traveling process.

It is also easier to verify one’s travel information since it is just at the click of a button.
The electronic system of travel authorization has enhanced the security of data and processes in this industry. Possibility of hackers of this system does still not nullify the fact that information stored in this system is more secure than when manual processes were being used. It is easier to access information when needed on the electronic system of travel authorization than on the manual system. An electronic system also guarantees security of data in case of happenings that may cause loss of data by ensuring there are back-ups.
Another benefit of this electronic system is better efficiency of processes. The electronic system takes in information the way it is entered into it and therefore does not encourage errors to be made. The processes are therefore made more accurate and efficient through the use of this system as it is less prone to errors that may occur.
