“Since we cannot predict what tomorrow may bring, it will be better that we'll have a safety devices or safety precautions that we can rely in times of emergency. Therefore, I suggests that using the most high tech devices like our phone as a tool in reaching people or seeking for help through the nearest 911 or Police with complete information is the very brilliant thing to do.
