Article paints an unnecessarily gloom and doom picture of the future of false alarms from rescue devices. The vast majority of them come because of the lack of two-way communication, which in the future, will become more standard. They should have articulated this, because two-way communication obviously makes a HUGE difference if a rescuer can ascertain the nature of the emergency, or especially, if there really is one.
