BLOG 10: Sandy altered our cellular connections

Mobile phones, we all have them. Let's be real, we all use them and we always have them in our hands. I mean, I know I have to have my phone with me at all times. But just imgine if we had no communiation with the outside world if we didn't have these techonoglcal devices that enable us to make calls, take important notes from our meetings, have via face to face meetings with propsecitve clients or family members, check our email and see what people are up to on Facebook or Twitter. It's something that has been driven into our culture in order to make us more aware, more connected with everything and everyone. Now of days, the companies that make and manifucture these phones have exploded with a wide range of phones, plans and data packages. For instance, the main cell phone providers here in the United Sates of America are Verizon Wireless, AT&, Sprint and T-Mobile. These companies have gotten to the top of the food chain by marketing unlbievalble cell phone devices, (sometimes) affordable plans and many things in which we can use our phones rather than just calling someone.
Many people in the east coast of the US experienced an alteration to their communication with friends and relatives by not having much communication at all threw there cell phone devices. The reason is: Sandy. The hurricane that made connections with the east coast of the US made a lot of people suffer, injured and even dead. Unfortunately, when natural detesters happen, we really cant do anything about it but just wait it out and hope for the best.
The carrieres/companies have been seneding their condolecnes to the famileis and people who were affected by Sandy and are telling their coustuermesr that they are trying to reboot their systems in order for them to have a better celuclart connection with the outside world. It seems to me that these companies are all having the same problem. They have had some electreical power and they are sturggulging to keep power running in order for there systems , in essence, wake up.
This is a problem because we need to take distastes in consideration because they can alter on how we communicate with the world and our loved ones. Imagine if this were a bigger ordeal, we wouldn't know the current news in specific locations, people would go insane and societies would more than likley go in a state of panic. We've seen these things happen. For example: we saw people go insane when Katrina hit. When the Tsunami hit in India, a couple years back. THIS IS SOMETHING BIG! Fortunately, we have many of our information stored and kept to our own reach. This goes the same for governments. They tend to usually be on the same page and have more technological advanced equipment. but All in all, this effects us more than we just realize. It's something big that we need to take in consideration and I am glad these phone companies are actually working hard and making there customers feel appropriated after such a disaster! I send all my prayers and wishes to the people effected. Also, if you have not voted yet: DO IT! Early voting ends Tomorrow(Saturday)!!
