A lot of people dismiss a computer as an impersonal machine, Ms Laurie said yesterday in an interview.
"It is not. There are real feelings in there," she said. "There are real people there, not just names on a screen."

Very touching story motion. People can do amazing things, even with a computer.

And it's nice to know, with all the abuse that can sometimes occur over chatrooms, messageboards, and even email, that people can still remain unjaded to the point where they might have disregarded this "911" as a prank. Instead, they reacted without hesitation.
It's a testament to the human capacity for compassion.

that was neat motion I like the part where she said:
Despite the fantasy names, she said, the people are real.
she prob got a faster response typing 911 on a screen then calling... hehe
(I've actually heard of ppl calling it and being put on hold!)
