tsunami information passing

the tragic events that happened in 2004 showed the world how far technology has come and how information can be passed sufficiently. A lot of people needed to tell there family and friends that they were still alive and technology was short so people were trying to phone everyone so the phone lines were very slow and people couldnt get through, people could still send text messages and there were thousands of text messages from people how had been affected by the tsunami. people were sending thousands of emails to news feeds after the disaster and people were becoming more involved. People were found stranded and bought to hospitals where there photos were taken and there families could find them. the internet and text services were very helpful compared to the older services, the old services could not kmepp up with the ammount of people using them at the same time where as the new services were ready for loads of people using them.
