Jose Armstrong+FollowCan Your Phone Really Predict Earthquakes?Google’s move to turn billions of smartphones into a global earthquake warning network is wild. The Android Earthquake Alerts system uses your phone’s motion sensors to spot tremors—sometimes even before you feel them. But is it smart to rely on a tech giant for life-saving alerts? Would you trust your phone over traditional seismic stations? Let’s debate the risks and rewards of crowdsourced safety tech. #Tech #EarthquakeTech #GoogleInnovation10Share
Kelly Sanchez+FollowCan We Trust Earthquake Alert Tech?Google’s Android Earthquake Alerts System missed the mark during Turkey’s devastating 2023 quake, failing to warn millions in time. The system’s algorithm underestimated the quake’s strength, sending only a fraction of the urgent alerts needed. While Google has since improved its detection, this raises a big question: Are we relying too much on algorithm-driven safety nets, or is this the future of disaster response? Would you trust your life to your phone’s sensors? Let’s debate. #Tech #EarthquakeTech #DisasterResponse00Share
