Hi all!
Don't worry your dear little hearts, nothing terrible has happened to me personally. I make this post to show my support for my August intake ICP comrades who are over in the USA right now trying to navigate the city, contact friends, family, room mates, etc. and are stuck without Facebook. If you weren't already aware, Facebook wen't down today, at around 2am Melbourne time, and has been out for about 20 minutes.
I honestly cannot think of anything else that would outwardly appear so unimportant but become such a big problem over there. Being alone in a place you've never been is scary enough. But if you haven't been over in the states long enough to organize a phone you would now be trapped with very few means of instant communication. Being alone is made infinitely worse by the knowledge that you can't even contact people you know for comfort or support.
It seems like such a trivial thing but I can only imagine what would be going through the participant's minds right now. I hope no one is severely affected by the outage and that everything gets back up and running soon. Good luck guys!
- Lily
