How an iPhone saved a Haiti earthquake victim

Technology is making more and more of a positive impact on modern life, particularly in the poorest regions of the world.

Nowhere is this more noticeable than with the events on the Caribbean country of Haiti, where hundreds and thousands of people have used social networking sites to relay news and messages of hope to worried loved ones.

One such story of hope involves U.S. filmmaker Dan Woolley, who was shooting a documentary about the impact of poverty in Haiti when the earthquake struck. He could have died, but he ultimately survived, with the help of an iPhone first-aid app, that taught him to treat his wounds.
