the life saver text (:
At times texting can be something more than just a time killer. Turns out that texting can also be a benefit for many reasons, such as emergencies. For example, if you found out that someone went missing or had been kidnapped, then it would be easy enough to just pick up your phone and send a quick message to as many people as you know, telling them that someone you know has gone missing. And with the technology now days, you can not only give a full description of the person, but you can also attach a picture of the missing person, that way the people that received the message can know what the missing person looks like, and they can let you know if they spot the person right away. Best of all, the people that you send the message to can also forward the message to all the people they know, and so on. That way the message will get out, probably even around the world, faster than you would take to make a phone call, or even put up flyers. This is the biggest benefit because it increases the chances, and speed, of finding the person that went missing. So thank goodness for texting in these sorts of situations!

Good point. Never thought of that, hopefully we will never have the need to send that kind of texts.
ReplyDeleteThat's true, I never really thought of it like that.
ReplyDeleteWell, OK. I can see this, and a lot of times people in disasters let their families know they are OK by texting.
ReplyDeleteI've recieved text messages about missing girls and I know people have been saved due to this reason. So thank goodness for that.
