I hope the ubiquity of cell phones can prevent future crowd surge disasters - by alerting others in the area that there is a dangerous level of crowding.

- tene80i 4y agoThis is a fantastic idea and if anyone from a relevant company sees this please do pass it along.
- metadat 4y agoWhat's it called when one always looks to others to solve important problems? "I'm not the right one for this job, but it's vital someone do it!" --> Nobody feels sufficiently empowered to take action and the opportunity is lost to the sands of time.
- tene80i 4y agoWell, that’s one way to respond I suppose. I don’t have the connections to Apple or Android teams to make this possible, so I did the only thing I could: tried to make this helpful idea more visible. Foolish me for not keeping quiet I suppose.
- metadat 4y agoTo be clear, my intent is not to single you out. I apologize if my reply came across this way. I tried to phrase it in a neutral way but in hindsight this was not sufficient in the comms department. My hope was to shed light on this phenomenon and learn how we, collectively, may do better. Seriously, my bad. Please don't stay quiet when your intentions are good! Speaking up can be the first step towards a better future. <3
- tene80i 4y agoUnderstood, thank you for your reply. You make a good point about the overall problem for sure.
