A lot has happened in 10 years. A lot has changed.
As we Americans fill our heads with remembering September 11, 2001 – where we were, how we first found out about the crashes, how it changed our lives – it’s too easy to see it infiltrate our every thought on this 10th anniversary.
I’ve found myself wondering what would we know about that day and those acts had the technology of today been available then.
How much more would we know about what happened on the planes if everyone had a camera on their phones? Videos? The prevalence of texting?
What would we have known and when from people in the World Trade Centesrs as they posted to Facebook and Twitter?
What last words would there be across the web to loved ones from those who passed, via social media and texting?
What could have been done differently with the availability of wi-fi on flights?
I marvel at just how much more we would know because of these commonplace technologies that weren’t even available 10 years ago. I wonder how that day would have changed had they been available. I dare even wonder if that day would have even happened the way that it did.
What do you think? What am I missing?
