So as I read in this post on another blog recently, two doctors were able to successfully perform surgery by text messaging directions to one another to save the life of a man who had been shot in the Congo.
It’s an inspiring story about what technology can do these days, but it got me thinking: what else could one person text to another so that they could perform a duty they otherwise could not do?
- Stealing. In the millionth Ocean’s Eleven movie, they’ll text directions to one another instead of radioing.
- Fixing cars, computer programs, etc. I have actually learned how to download certain programs by receiving the directions via text message, so I can attest to this!
- Politics. Someone just has to send the politician the right message, at the right time, and they can win over a constituency following their advice. And bam! That’s how we keep a week-long thread about texting in the White House going at Textually Speaking!
