Self-Service Kiosks: An Ally in Modernizing Public Sector Services

In today’s fast-paced world, citizens expect efficiency, convenience, and accessibility in public services. Long queues and manual processes no longer align with these expectations. The solution? Self-service kiosks—a transformative tool modernizing the public sector and reshaping how governments engage with their communities. From renewing licenses to paying taxes, self-service kiosks are empowering citizens to access services at their convenience, eliminating wait times and streamlining operations. These kiosks work tirelessly 24/7, ensuring that government services are available even beyond office hours. But the benefits go beyond convenience. For governments, these kiosks reduce the burden on staff by automating routine tasks, allowing human resources to focus on critical and complex issues. With multilingual interfaces and accessibility features, kiosks cater to diverse populations, ensuring inclusivity. The impact? Enhanced citizen satisfaction, improved operational efficiency, and cost savings. Whether it’s in public transportation hubs, healthcare centers, or municipal offices, self-service kiosks are driving digital transformation across the public sector. At Panashi FZCO, we’re proud to be at the forefront of this revolution. Our state-of-the-art kiosk solutions are tailored to meet the unique needs of government services, bridging the gap between technology and public convenience. Ready to modernize public services and elevate citizen engagement? Let’s connect and explore the potential of self-service kiosks for your organization!

Futures Made of Virtual Insanity...

Every few decades, there's a new technological something or the other.

Some innovation, something to wow.

Something brand new.

An iron lung.

A shiny new space suit.

Gilded wings.

An iPod.

A Walkman.

A Discman.

A radio.

A microwave.

A television.

A computer.

LCD, HD.

4K, 8K.

Google Glass, Metaverse.

AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Mail.

Netscape Navigator, Geocities, Angelfire.

Sidekick, iPhone.

3G, 4G, 5G.

Text messages, Wifi.

Xbox, Playstation, NES, Atari.

Have you figured out yet how fucking fake, forced, contrived & scripted it all is?

Do you really think they haven't developed a battery for cell phones yet that can last a week? A month?

Did you know that plastic is actually extremely durable yet 9 billion tons of disposable plastic has been produced since the 1940s?

Why do you think that is?

Do you actually think they give us new technology when its invented?

Are you aware we still haven't figured out how ancient Egypt built the pyramids?

If we're so technologically advanced, why haven't we built our own pyramids?

HD or high definition has actually been around since at least the 1990s if not earlier.

The technology for supersonic commercial flights has been available since the 1970s.

What's presented as new & shiny was actually invented millennia ago by ancient Egyptians. Who were themselves aliens.

They are stealing from ancient Egyptian technology then presenting it to you as new and impressive.

They release a bit at a time to the public literally thousands of years after the original inventions to great fanfare & money.

They have had the ability to clone, gene splice.

Human experimentation.

Interspecies hybridization.

Everything in X Files represented truth.

Government lies, purchasing technology from aliens in exchange for humans that were then harvested for their DNA & experimented on for biological warfare.

Every age is unprecedented...until the next age.

Don't you see how fucking contrived that is?

Every age is unrivaled and revolutionary...until it is surpassed, sometimes a mere twenty years later, by a new and unrivaled revolutionary age.

Wash, rinse, repeat every few decades.

Still, you don't see a pattern?

Skunkworks at Lockheed Martin "developed" stealth aircraft with cloaking capabilities in the 90s.

All of this was stolen from ancient Egypt.

Flip phones, smartphones, iPhones.

Dial up, wifi, 3G, 4G, 5G.

So, what will 10G be like?

HD, LCD. 4K, 8K.

What will 16K be like? What about 32K? What about 48K?

Have you figured out how fucking fake & contrived & scripted all this bullshit technology is?

The metaverse has existed for literal decades.

They stole all of this from ancient Egypt and then present it to the public at intervals of a few decades as "technological advancements", "innovations" and "wizardry".

Snowcrash spoke of the metaverse back in the 90s.

Ready Player One depicted it in film two decades after Snowcrash.

Facebook developed it "in real life" a few years ago then paused it.

The covid shut down was the soft reset for AI & robotics which is when they are going to unleash the metaverse, AR & VR & the elimination of at least 80% of all current jobs.

They stole all of this and they keep it hidden then release it to the public bit by bit at regular, predictable, timed & scripted intervals as "brand new technology".

Haven't you noticed any obvious patterns yet?

The present is always ever evolving and what is considered cutting-edge today, just five years from now, will be considered the "distant past".

Why would anyone watch TV in 8K? Thank god we have 32K now!

Why would a song ever last for 4 minutes? Thank god the average song length is now two minutes.

In just twenty years, two full minutes was lost.

What happens when songs become one minute on average?

What happens when two hour movies are shortened to one hour?

What happens when episodic TV that is a half an hour or an hour becomes TikToks and Youtube Shorts?

What happens when books are no longer printed and published and everything is Audible or its presented in comic book manga style?

Who would ever want to read hundreds of words with no pictures, color, sound or audio?

No matter how many times this cycle is repeated, it is rarely questioned.

Now, there are Smart TVs! And phones! And refrigerators! And ovens! And washing machines!

All interconnected via wireless bluetooth device!

Alexa can tell me if the ingredients I need for my dinner are in my fridge then pre-set my oven for me while I am on the way home from work.

Five years ago is now an eternity.

A four minute song is now an eternity.

Reading a book -- not listening to a book, not reading a manga or comic book which are pictures & words -- reading an actual book with nothing but actual words is becoming an anachronism.

A book, not a tablet -- not staring at a screen, not scrolling, not "tapping" to turn the page.

An actual book, with pages, where you the human, turn the pages of the book with your hand.

Ice Age, Stone Age.

The future's made of virtual insanity...

Stone Age, heat wave - Stone Age

Cassettes. LPs. VHS. VCR.

Cloning. DNA splicing. Species hybridization.

Toasters. Freezers. Fax machines. Printers.

Personal computers. Typewriters. Beepers. Pagers.

Google Glass. AR. VR. AI.

Remote controls. Answering machines. Call waiting. Caller ID.

What's the next fake Age in this never ending quest for fake ass futurism & technoworship?

For YEARS She Recorded Everything on TV

[mandolinglockenspiel]

ID - Synth

What could go wrong? Glockens thought that using a perfectly mundane singing voice synthesizer software, to have vocals complementing his music (since he sucked at singing even more than at playing instruments), could enhance his musical spells without any of the usual backfiring of adding more magical instruments to the basic. Well, guess what? Magic music also mixes with regular Vocalo- I mean, singing voice software. Mixes really hard, digitalizing and mixing his human body with the software's very original  idol character (don't steal) representation of its voice. Now she's Synth, a synthwave holographic (but able to solidify) presence with the power of magic in her voice. The bad part is... she's lost a great part of her humanity and with a robotic behavior she awaits for commands to fulfil. -- You can support me on my Patreon! www.patreon.com/tfstories Or visit my Discord server: discord.com/invite/89dqVbedBq

How far will we go?

When it's too late, we will know.

Digitalization, yes please.

But can we probably think about it before, this time?

Does it really make sense in every way?
