Passage B: Questions 36-40
       Banjo is the name of a technology company that has nothing to do with music. Founded andrun by Damien Patton, it's a technology he dubs as the "crystal ball."' Banjo has been able tocapitalize on the ubiquity of cellphone cameras and the world's insatiable desire to share theirphotos and videos with the world through social media. Banjo's algorithm filters through theinformation, combines location and time, and somehow reads the images to see if somethingunusual is happening. Clients are paying tens of thousands of dollars a year for subscriptions. Manyof these clients rely on split-second information. They want news before it becomes news. Whenposts are flagged as deviations from the norm, employees are alerted. They then tell the appropriateclients the news. While the technology elicits a lot of privacy concerns and a fear of Big Brother,there are benefits as well. Patton hopes that the technology could help save lives during naturaldisasters, prepare the right emergency response teams to incidents, and aid people in other ways.
