The Positive Impact Latest Technology Advancements can make in times of Emergency in one's Life - An example

It's quite amazing to see the rate at which #technology is advancing. Recently when a near and dear one in my family wasn't well and I had to get a second opinion on whether or not that family member needs to be admitted into the hospital, I was immediately able to scan the reports using my smartphone to get a second opinion from another doctor within no time. It helped me do the right thing without any delay and it counted when it really mattered. It was thanks to the support and bright idea back then from two of my friends, that I could deal with this situation immediately . I truly understood and respect the value that a #smartphone with #gprs connectivity can give you during such times .#justsaying

In case you want to see how I was able to embed the gist in my blog, you can have a look at the stackoverflow question that I posted here on the same when I had initially faced issues to get this to work for me. Credits to the original blogger's post.
