New Yorkers got a quick taste of the tremors today! Another quake, I'm ready!
Nope! In this day in age, social media is far more of an influential tool in alerting the public on all matters, even natural disasters...I mean think about it, what has a more powerful chain-reaction: calling one person ("phone-tree"), watching tv (that is if you're not at work), listening to the radio (if you even own a car), or getting a push notification from your technologically enhanced social media powers (whether it be a FB alert on your computer or smartphone from a friend or family member, alerting EVERYONE of big news ..::Like I did::..)?
I think it is safe to say technological advancements are the way to go...send out those Social Media Alerts, download smartphone Apps that send you live feed alerts or alarm you when earthquake vibrations are detected...and get ready for the new government emergency text alert system that will be coming to a mobile phone near you ..::2012::..(
Alcatel-Lucent's Broadcast Message Center sends out
emergency text alerts based on your phones location). Embrace
The Age of Technology!
