The digital divide between LEDC's and MEDC's

in 2004 a tsunami hit south east asia by suprise. however it wasn't a suprise to those in america because the had the technology that detected the earthquake 3 hours before the tsnunami struck. the american's couldnt send the warning out quick enough to warn south east asia about it because they didnt have a warning system, alert email and no network sensoring. this is because they hadnt had the correct funding to "fund" these digitally working devices because as a coutnry they still are an LEDC and they do not have the infrastructure to hold many tele-communicational devices because of the lack of funding, sciences and knowledge.
although emails are sent quickly they had recieved this befiore the tsunami struck so the authorities were able to evacuate quick enough.
there were many websites, forums, special reports on websites such as: www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2004/tsunami.disaster
http://www.savethechildren.org.uk/
www.teakdoor.com/the-multimedia-forum/30383-tsunami-2004-videos.html
these are just only a few websites that have information about the tsunami.. there were many forums set up on the 26th december with people chatting about the disaster and many people were worried about friends and relatives and wanted to know to see if they were ok..
also sky news placed a ticker on their news screen to show people that victims were alive.
and websites uploaded photos onto a website to show survivors.
this brought everyone together via the internet because everyone was searching for the same thing. modern services were used rather than old ones because the newer services held a higher standard and were better technologically.
all of these above show the digital divide between LEDC's and MEDC's...
every country should have a warning system and and alert system to alert people of their country of potential dangers so they can be less fatalities but as a whole all countries will be able to communicate between cities or towns.
because it would minimize risk and stop the horrific images of 2004 be the end of it.
