During an emergency, our only line out to help is our phone. We use it to call the police, family, or friends in a time of need, so it’s rather important for it to be charged. If the power is knocked out, you’re going to need a new way to charge your device so you can check in with everyone.

The ‘modern version’ of something is always looked upon with skepticism. When you take a tangible thing and make it digital or electronic, some may doubt its validity. The move from an acoustic guitar to electric caused a big hubbub, but it started to be more widely accepted as time moved on.

There are all sorts of infused foods and drinks that will give you a little more pep in your step, but what would happen if everything you ate had…

Progress is a wonderful thing. Take computing for example. Just a scant few years ago we were all lugging around very heavy, cumbersome lunchbox computers which couldn’t compute their way out of a paper bag, and now look at us. Sneak a peek at your fellow coffee shop patrons next time you’re in for a check up, and chances are a good third of them will be doing some sort of tablet computer dance over their Latte with Sprinkles.

When you store a variety of foods in one place, they all start to spread their smells around. Onion, fish, and other potent flavors can seep into your food. It can be rather obvious which foods have affected as they don’t taste as fresh. The general smell of the fridge can also be rather abhorrent if you left food in there for too long.

If you really want to make your own music, you should probably learn to play an instrument. If you have a general feel for the beat but aren’t too inclined to dealing with pitch, then percussion may be your forte. Buying the instrument is the next hassle, as you don’t necessarily want to drop a bunch of money on something you don’t know how to play yet.

Sure its days are clearly numbered, but there are circumstances where mobile phones simply don’t work, such as in areas where the signal is weak to non-existent.

We’ve all become very reliant on mobile phones, simply because they’re an awesome invention. But even so it is probably prudent to minimize extensive exposure to the radiation from the handsets during a long call. And before you trot out the old nonsense about non-ionizing radiation being completely safe, just remember that microwave ovens also use non-ionizing radiation, which most definitely is not safe unless properly shielded.
