Technology is used in sports most commonly in the for of replays. In football (American Football) the referees can watch a replay to ensure the correct call had been made. In soccer (football for the rest of the world) The referees use walkie talkies to communicate to each other as well as a device that detects when the ball has crossed the goal line in come places. The assistant referees have a button that cause a vibration on the official referee's arm when pressed to call attention. Balls in both of these sports have been prototyped with GPS and Computer chips inside as a way to help the referees make better calls but the high-tech balls have yet to be incorporated into either sport.
