Technology is becoming more and more advanced as years go by.
Drones and other kinds of innovations are being used to make people's tasks easier.
Aside from this, technologies are also being used to solve mysteries that have been baffling numerous experts for the past years.
These include the existence of Bigfoot. But, can technology really solve this and other mysteries in the natural world?
How Technology Can Solve Bigfoot and Other Mysteries
According to Engadget's latest report, Bigfoot research has improved significantly in the past years.
Matt Moneymaker, a popular TV personality and president of BFRO (Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization), has been making drastic efforts to prove that Bigfoot is real.
His passion for the mysterious creature began in 1992; when local farmers informed him about the sightings in Ohio.
In September 2022, his team decided to use the Mavic 2 EA drone. Unlike other models, this advanced DJI drone has more sensors and a high-resolution thermal camera.
However, during that period, they weren't able to capture the footage of Bigfoot during that time.
One of the main issues with this technology is that it is too expensive for BFRO. But, they are hoping that sponsorships will soon allow them to have more of these thermal-based drones.
Aside from advanced drones, social media is also considered to be another great source for collecting sightings captured by other people.
But, not everyone is sharing their experience and captured videos on social media.
Based on these details, the efficiency of technology when it comes to capturing Bigfoot still depends on the people's commitment.
Technology Can Also Lead to Problems
Although technologies like drones and social media platforms are helpful, these can lead to issues because of how other people use them.
For example, Facebook and other online platforms are criticized because of the rising hoaxes and misinformation.
Instead of sharing real encounters with Bigfoot, other people tend to make up stories and edit fake videos/images.
Aside from online platforms, artificial intelligence is also making it hard for people to distinguish between real and fake content.
This can be seen in an AI-generated image posted by the Instagram account, bitsquatch. If you will check the photo, it really looks real.

Aside from solving mysteries, technology is also being used for other environmental purposes.
Recently, a giant warehouse laboratory, which can re-create all types of weather, was created in the U.K.
We also reported that Heliatek created ultra-thin solar panels to harvest the sun's energy.
