\"\"<\/p>\n

Technology has completely changed the world of sports. Almost every new rule, game, or experience is due to technological advancement. Social media technology lets us get more personal with our favorite athletes and gives us a new way to connect with our favorite teams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sports are a large part of our culture and a big business. Technology gives fans enhanced ways to enjoy their favorite games while sports teams, leagues, and TV providers are monetizing every aspect of the game. As fans, we can instantly learn information about our players through social media instead of waiting for the morning paper.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

eSports<\/span><\/h3>\n

An obvious change to sports culture is the addition of video games. Before you argue that video games aren’t a sport consider the following: they require an insane amount of skill at the highest levels, and many are team sports. Hundreds of top sports teams sponsor their own eSports teams. Twenty-five NBA teams sponsor a team for the <\/span>NBA2K League<\/span><\/a>, and FC Barcelona sponsors teams for <\/span>Rocket League<\/span><\/i> and other competitive video games. They even trade players!<\/span><\/p>\n

Fantasy<\/span><\/h3>\n

Those who can’t shoot a ball to save their life or figure out the controls to <\/span>Madden<\/span><\/i> are left with fantasy sports. Fantasy has evolved tremendously from football to other sports. Fantasy gives fans a greater interest in teams outside of their city. Fantasy sports change the fan experience because it forces fans to root for particular players from teams playing their favored team (if they are brave enough to pick a player on their team’s nemesis.)<\/span><\/p>\n

The different variations of fantasy sports wouldn’t be possible without the work of <\/span>software engineers<\/span><\/a> creating compatible apps that update in real-time. Focusing on stats and weaknesses isn’t only for armchair quarterbacks. Sports teams are using data to get a competitive advantage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Underwater Cameras<\/span><\/h3>\n

One of the main changes and advances that technology has brought to underwater sports is the way to show the sport to viewers.<\/p>\n

The Diveye underwater camera system<\/a> offers the possibility to follow freedivers in depth competitions in real time and record important data of their dive, such as depth, time and allows the judges and safety team to follow the athletes at all times , improving safety aspects, as well as allowing viewers through video to observe the athlete’s performance.<\/p>\n
