A grandmother in a mountain village watches the beads on her wall-mounted abacus physically slide and clack together on their own 15 minutes before an earthquake strikes—the antenna picked up the low-frequency electromagnetic shifts that always precede the quake, and she's already gathering her grandchildren.

The Wow Moment
A new mom, nervous about her first solo park visit after receiving mean comments, opens the app and sees three other parents nearby. Within minutes, a 'school' forms - they coordinate their routes to arrive together, and as they push their strollers in formation, she feels the same security a small fish feels joining a larger school. That day when another parent criticizes her parenting, instead of feeling alone and shamed, three other parents immediately and calmly have her back.
