Mumbai and Technology
Just a quick note to highlight one of the point of my last post, which is how technology has and continues to change our lives. Not only can a pet be introduced to family members thousands of miles away or get inside info during a hurricane - it can also save your life!

From a CNN.com story about a US family stuck in Mumbai's Taj Mahal hotel for 40hrs:
"While she was trapped, Mackoff exchanged text messages with the U.S. Consulate, which coordinated the rescue with the Indian Army. The four were told the exact time they would be rescued.
Those contacts were Mackoff's only lifeline to the outside. She said the satellite connection had been cut, so they couldn't watch TV to see what was going on."
Just fantastic!
