Christmas is nearly here, and Santa is getting ready for his yearly round of toy deliveries. Of course the days of making wooden soldiers and spinning tops are long gone -- kids today want more hi-tech gear, and Saint Nicholas has had to move with the times.
He no longer has to rely entirely on hand delivering everything in a reindeer powered sleigh either, thanks to advances in parcel delivery like the Hyperloop inspired YuleTube or the Amazon Drone-style Gift-o-Copters, and optical camouflage technology ensures Santa will remain virtually invisible while making deliveries (and enjoying furtive kisses with mommy underneath the mistletoe).
FinancesOnline.com has put together a great infographic covering all aspects of Santa’s operations, from kid surveillance to Christmas Eve logistics. Take a browse through it and you’ll discover that:
- Santa’s complex system can cost as much as $227-Billion in devices and programs.
- A Chinese Supercomputer will enable Santa to read billions of gift requests from kids around the world in an instant.
- Santa’s Elves can go high-tech with Exoskeletons that will boost their productivity to the max!
- And you don’t need to worry about bad weather stopping Santa getting out of his polar hub, thanks to the introduction of self-heating streets.
It’s all good fun, and a festive treat to get you in the mood ready for the big day. Ho Ho Ho!
