It’s really great to see technology put to good use not just to benefit those who can afford the services, but also for those who REALLY need it especially in dire times.
Leading telecommunications company Globe Telecom continues to provide Libreng Tawag service to displaced residents of Zamboanga City to ensure that they can remain in touch with their families and friends despite the ongoing clashes between the military and members of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF).
Leading telecommunications company Globe Telecom set up today two Libreng Tawag stations in Marikina City to assist residents who are staying in evacuation centers due to heavy rains brought by Typhoon Maring since Sunday afternoon.
The Libreng Tawag centers are located at Bulelak Gym in Brgy. Malanday and H. Bautista Elementary School in Brgy. Concepcion Uno, two of the biggest evacuation sites in Marikina City.
Through the free call and text service of Globe, evacuees could remain in contact with their families and friends to assure them of their safety or to request for aid if necessary.
You’re in a noisy, crowded environment and your trusty smartphone is in your pocket. Since you’re afraid that pulling out your most prized gadget to check for important tweets, SMS, FB, and email notifications might call the attention of snatchers and robbers, you decide to keep it securely in your pocket (or bag) instead.
Ever been in that situation before? More than once, perhaps?
What if you’re in a meeting? Constantly looking at your phone to check for incoming messages can be quite disrespectful to the person you’re having a meeting with. In the end, you choose to keep your phone turned down till god knows when. All the while, someone is trying to reach you through your smartphone and you don’t even notice… till it’s too late. Not good.
We’ve all been guilty of this. We’ve probably all been in hot water because we missed an urgent call from our spouse or from our boss.
So, what can you really do if you need to keep tabs with important people? What if you need to be notified the very minute an email is sent to you or when an emergency call comes in…? Is there a solution to this?
Fortunately, NOW there’s is!
COOKOO.
Yup! Cookoo! An analog watch that does so much more than just notify you of the time.
This impressive little gadget connects to your iOS device via Bluetooth 4.0 in tandem with a free downloadable app via the Apple AppStore.
Hello people! Though my mouth is still hurting due to the dental surgery I underwent 5 days ago to extract 2 molars (I still have 3 sutures), I was welcomed with great news this morning via a phone call. Can’t divulge specifics yet but it’s really exciting and it’s happening real soon. Will tell you all about it in the coming days and weeks. Cheers!
