Australian woman saved by by her Gadgets

The Age is reporting that 36-year-old Australian Alison Sayer was saved from major injuries in the London bombings last week by her iPod headphones, which kept her eardrums protected from perforation and tearing, and her laptop, which she had in her backpack, helping her to avoid spinal injury as she was thrown from the blast.

More than one reason to keep up in this high-tech, high-terror world.

I'm Alison's sister and I've got to say that I went out and bought myself an iPod as soon as I got home :) The joys of technology
