Disclosed is a network for determining when a device undergoes potentially damaging motion. The device runs application software that causes a device processor to interrogate at least an accelerometer to determine if a motion threshold that signals potentially damaging motion may have occurred is exceeded. If the threshold is exceeded the device sends motion information to a central server for further processing. The central server processes the motion information to determine if the device underwent potentially damaging motion. If it has, the central server sends an appropriate notification that the device underwent potentially damaging motion.
