ABC US News | ABC Celebrity News Social media can be a burden to some, and apparently a live-saver to others, literally. When a tree fell on a little girl's father and his two friends in West Virginia, all cell phone reception was down. The little girl immediately posted on Facebook asking if someone could call 911 because they had no reception and her father needed help. Someone saw the post and called 911. This is quite chilling that something created so recently, a social media page, Facebook, had the ability to help save a life! This story definitely helps bump up the benefits of social media in my book.
