Not sure what exactly it has to do with photography, but I thought it was cool anyway... watch the video clip if you have time... Big Grin

Quote:A 10-year-old girl has been saved from drowning by a computer system designed to raise the alarm when swimmers get into difficulties.

The girl, from Rochdale, was at the deep end of the pool in Bangor, north Wales, when she sank to the bottom.

The £65,000 system, called Poseidon, detected her on the pool floor and sounded the alarm. A lifeguard pulled her out and she recovered in hospital.
