I have owned an iPhone for almost a year now, and I, like the rest of the community have been subject to the "there's an app for that" joke. The joke follows as such: whatever jam you're in, there's an app that will get you out of it. If you need to defuse a bomb and rescue the mayor’s niece with mere seconds to spare, there’s an app for that. If you wanted to finally figure out if Shcrodinger’s cat is dead, there’s an app for that. We all know that there's an app for just about everything. Just the other day, I read the following article about a real-world instance where the iPhone has come in handy: Alone in the darkness beneath layers of rubble, Dan Woolley felt blood streaming from his head and leg. Then he remembered -- he had an app for that. Woolley, an aid worker, husband, and father of two boys, followed instructions on his cell phone to survive the January 12 earthquake in Haiti. "I had an app that had pre-downloaded all this information about treating wounds. So I looked up excessive bleeding and I looked up compound fracture," Woolley told CNN. Read the rest of the article. http://alturl.com/ym5e The aforementioned man had been trapped in the ruins of a hotel in Port-au-Prince as a result of the earthquake the struck Haiti, and remembered he had an app that would help him survive. He looked up what to do on his app, including how to treat for shock, and was pulled from the rubble more than 60 hours later. While some perceive the "there's an app for that" saying as merely a joke, there really is a wide-variety of apps for everything, and chances are that one of them can save your life.
