The world of sport continually changes and its use of technology is making a huge impact. However, criticism from some organized sport states that using technology can actually slow down the speed of the game.

Umpires on the field are in communication with each other via wireless technology and the third umpire is also asked to adjudicate on run-out decisions. He does this by using technology, without secondary umpire consultation.

As technology improves and becomes readily available, new leading edge inventions include the Hawk-eye, a computer and camera system that traces a ball’s trajectory.
