Is Social Media taking over?
Two girls lost in a stormwater drain raised the alert on a social networking site rather than ringing triple-0.
I just read and saw an article on Yahoo about two young South Australian girls who got lost in a stormwater drain in Adelaide, SA last night.
Amazingly they raised the alert on Facebook rather than ringing the emergency services on 000.
A spokesperson from the MFS says it was fortunate a young male friend was online at the time and was able to call for help on their behalf.
This really shows the popularity of Social Media and it’s many uses. However, at the same time we shouldn’t forget the need to use other services especially in times of danger!
