Technology helps New Yorkers cope

Thanks to wireless laptops, Internet-enabled cell phones and telecommuting, some say, the bus and subway strike has not caused the utter chaos that many people had expected, explains CNN.

"We're open for business as usual," said Selena Morris, spokeswoman for Merrill Lynch & Co. The financial management company had some employees working from home, while others could go to various regional offices if getting into Manhattan was too difficult.

Commuters have also Internet technology to find rides or a couch to sleep on, and to fire off e-mails from home or the car.
