tsunami

the 2004 tsunami was anticipated before it struck, however the digital divide made it hard to get the message out to the people it was going to effect, this was because many people in the countries that were affected did not have a computer, nor any access to any digital or information technology, as the countries are poor. this made it hard for the people who were anticipating the tsunami to get the warning to these countries in time. after the tsunami many websites were set up in order to raise money for the country, as well as the money that the govenment would give them, in the end there was more money given that was raised over the internet, than the governments themselves gave the country. this was quite a feat.
