My guess is that if Twitter and Facebook had existed on 9/11, not only would people have known more about what happened inside the building, but people from outside would have been able to warn the people inside to get out quickly , to safety. The exchange of information would have allowed people to make better decisions.

And then, with 1 or 2 megapixels. Only now, do we have cell phones with high resolution cameras and video recorders, in addition to cell phones that can play feeds from television, and transmit video feed of the cell phone user live.

One of the reasons why we need to accelerate innovation and try to acquire tomorrow's technology today is the utility in not only finding greater uses, but also solving problems more effectively and efficiently. This is why we need to work harder and push ourselves more to accelerate the pace of innovation...
