IPHONES SAVE LIVES? Which APP will save yours?



This post is definatly for the iphone fans, or for those who want to redeem themselves from feeling far too attached from their cell phone... because there is hope!!! It was a week or so ago from now, but I was driving to school listen to the radio when they told the story about an iphone saving the life of a man in Haiti!!! He was a reseacher staying in a hotel when the earth quake hit, and was buried beneath rumble. HOWEVER, he had his iphone in his pocket, and happened to have a First Aid app!!! He looked up what to do for his head gash and leg shatter, and followed the directions. The radio did not go into detail of this, however it did say that the app told him he needed to stay concious because of such large wounds. And he set an alarm on his iphone for every 20 minutes... 30 hours later (thanks to great battery power) he was found by rescurers since he was concious to shout out to them! Technology certainly is not always this realiable, but i must say, the iphone proved its loyalty to this man's life- I'm assuming he'll never leave home without it.
