Emergency and Alert system
How long will a police man take to respond to a crime just reported in a very remote place. Only the local people have the information and can send the information to all around by MMS that can be displayed on a local public alert system. For accident and trafffic jams around cities as well as major advertising event how do we get there..Every alert should appear with its source location on Google Map.This can be an all round system and very useful in emergencies.

Today the mobile is like a PC. Think about it, it really is more like a Server PC if there is such a term!. Just ask your yourself, what other computer is always on 24/7…if you thought of a server, you get my point. If you are like me, a day with your phone off feels like being thrown to the stone age. Infact you probably leave yours overnight just in case you recieve an overseas call or simply as a radio or alarm clock. I therefore challenge you to turn your mobile phone into a server!!
