2 Great Uses for a Mobile Phone for 1 Great Result
Having a mobile phone may actually save your life!
San Francisco Bay Area park officials are advocating the use of mobile phones for hikers. Packing a mobile phone on a hike saved the lives of two women who lost their way a few nights ago at Garin Regional Park in Hayward. They used their phone to 1.) dial for help, and then 2.) held up the lit phone as a beacon for the helicopter rescue crew as they neared.
A quote (by Lt. Dave Dubowy, a patrol watch commander of the East Bay Regional Park District) that we particularly love here at justKnow:
“Technology is wonderful now. The GPS capabilities make our jobs so much easier.”
We’re thinking these women won’t need a wireless reminder to take their phones with them on their next hike.
