I've said it 1,000 times: technology is great, when it works.
When it doesn't, the fallout is one massive headache. So when the East Coast U.S. has a nearly 6-magnitide earthquake, and the systems can't even keep up with THAT--what with everyone texting and Tweeting--what's going to happen when there's a REAL emergency?

Personally, there have been numerous occasions where I'm about to get my Twitter on, only to be confronted with the dreaded: "Twitter is over capacity."
Say what?
You think they'd have all of that figured out by now. Funny how technology zooms ahead at the speed of light but the systems that support it, and the people needed to run it, don't ever seem to be able to keep up!
