CELLPHONE DANGERS

I’m supposed to write something about the summer video craze around here, the Jutsus of Naruto when this email popped-out of my screen. Good heavens, I’ve been doing this all this time, and when I read this email, I made a promise to myself to break the habit. Call me lucky this terrible thing did not happen to me.

Cellphone, a thing some people can’t live without, (I prefer to live without one,) are just few of the most useful inventions of this period. This thing is supposed to make living comfortable and get connected at all times but what if it will turn out the other way around?

Here’s the story, take a look;

A few days ago, a person was recharging his mobile phone at home.

Just at that time a call came in and he answered it with the charging Instrument still connected to the outlet.
After a few seconds electricity flowed into the cell phone unrestrained and the young man was thrown to the floor with a heavy thud. As you can see, the phone actually exploded.



His parents rushed to the room only to find him unconscious, with a weak heartbeat and burnt fingers.
He was rushed to the nearby hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival.



So there, although I have to verify this information yet, the sender is quoting The Surgical Services of the University of Miami Hospital. Thus, there might be some truth about this email.

But what is certain is to;
never use the cell phone while it is hooked to the electrical outlet! If you are charging the cell phone and a call comes in, unplug it from the charger and outlet.

Thanks for dropping by.

  7. Hey thanks for the follow~ thought I'd drop by and this post really jumped out at me! You got me concerned so I did just a little research up on it.. turns out you don't really have anything too much to worry about. It's only partly true. Just one of those urban legend things that are blown out of proportion =)

  9. Wow, that sure does grab your attention. I never use my cellphone when it is charging, and I most definitely won't think about it doing so after reading this.
