Technological change in Maryland
Maryland lags and leads technological change in various ways. I most cases the state is ahead of the curve due to its relatively high level of urbanization, especially around Baltimore, and because it neighbors Washington, D.C..[citation needed]
Most uses of the telecommunications standard 3G will be[needs update] discontinued by the beginning of 2023.[1] This will affect use of many mobile devices, but will be especially problematic for the emergency services.[1]
The telecommunications standard 5G has been implemented in some parts of Maryland as of November 2022[update].[2] By early May of 2020, 5G rollout in Baltimore had begun as with several other larger cities in the country.[2] This drove the hiring of many tower technicians to perform the deployment itself, reaching 450 by September of 2020.[2]
Advancements in farm technology are particularly important to Maryland because can greatly reduce the amount of various substances that will run off into the Chesapeake.[3][4][5] In the case of self-driving tractors that's because they apply agricultural chemicals more precisely,[3][4] and animal waste processing technology because it reduces the nutrient content.[5]
The Department of Agriculture disburses the Animal Waste Technology Fund (AWTF) to encourage the development, implementation, and demonstration of such technologies for the state.[5]
