Bet you didn't see that one coming!"<br /><br />I mean I get that the joke is meant to be "they could have used that time to prepare instead of posting on the internet" but I don't really know what they could've actually done if the amount of time between the warning and the earthquake wasn't even long enough to repost something on Twitter.<br /><br />I think there's a vaguely interesting idea in there, that technology allows for greater safety but we're too busy being dazzled by it to take advantage, but the example here's so weak it gets completely lost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-78425411360216038532010-04-06T10:58:02.280-07:002010-04-06T10:58:02.280-07:00"I don't really know what to say to that...."I don't really know what to say to that."<br /><br />Say nothing.
