In fact, some companies have been using new technology to help out people in disaster areas. For example, during the fighting in Kosovo, the earthquake in Turkey, and flooding in Vietnam, Ericsson provided communications assistance to speed relief efforts. Also, the Cisco company set up networks and websites in Kosovo for refugees to find missing relatives.
事實上，許多業者早已利用最新科技來減輕人類面臨天災人禍時的痛苦，例如在科索伏戰爭、土耳其大地震及越南洪災中，當地的易利信員工和紅十字人員聯袂趕往災區現場，以無線通信協助救災，而美國思科系統公司則在當地架設網路及網站，協助失散的親友團聚。
