There's something about the Amber Alert system that makes me feel connected to the rest of civilization. However, the is NOTHING civilized about the sound that an Amber Alert made on my phone the other day. In fact, I was just falling asleep and it scared the heck out of me!!!
I contemplated turning the notification off but decided that a momentary freak out (to put it mildly) is worth the price of possibly saving a child. However, honestly - there is no need for that startling sound. Not to mention that there was no call to action as to what to do!
