If only the world was perfect. If it was, then Mexico would be the recipient of the technologies we've spend this entire semester dreaming of. From Twitter to Facebook to simple SMS texting. Last night a 6.7 earthquake hit Mexico and killed one.

Like the Haitian earthquake, phones were still able to be used during and after the quake hit. So while the rest of us in State College were either hammered, sleeping, or "singing" Don't Stop Believing at the top the lungs, Mexico's earthquake was able to be reported to family and friends as well as how the person, who initiated it, is doing. Likewise, Japan and Hawaii both had earthquakes as well, and no damages were reported there either.
Suffice it to say that I would just end this blog post there... there's not much else you can say besides an earthquake hit and people had their phones. So, naturally people are going to do what they naturally do: when anything relatively exciting or new happens, they take to their phones. Go figure.
