Taiwan Earthquake victims vs Internet Connection disruption

Don't you find that the world is so funny at times. Take a look at the recent major earthquake in Taiwan which caused the Internet Connection in parts of East Asia to be disrupted or slowed down.

When people realised that the disruption was caused by an earthquake in Taiwan, they were panicked over the economic impact and the impact of the disruption on their daily routine. People were swearing over the slow connection and bombing the Internet Service Providers with queries and complaints.

What about the victims and casualties of the earthquake? Are they second to the symbol of the digital age?

Sometimes it just leaves one pondering whether human beings are going into the right direction.

  1. Woah, so 'gan xing'! Well, it's not rare that most people are concerned about themselves only because they cannot see... Meaning, when tsunami took place, the media broadcasted on and on about the casualties and at that point, people living in the digital world were not affected very badly. Thus, they can show concern to the others like giving donations and so forth. Right now, the earthquake has impacted them and they have to care more about themselves. Do understand from their points of view as well... But this shows you are kind-hearted... =D
