5 Unsafe Acts You Should Avoid at all Cost While Making Use of Your Tech Gadgets
Just as the
saying goes that beauty is always in the eyes of a beholder, and now I am
saying that safety too is also in the eyes and hands of the beholder.
There are
certain unsafe practices that many of you often indulge in while making use of
your tech gadgets and this piece will be serving as a reminder to those unsafe
practices and also as a strong voice for those that practice such unsafe acts
to desist completely from such acts.
If you still
don’t know about these unsafe acts when making use of your various tech
gadgets, then here we roll;
1.
Using of Power Banks while plugged
into an AC outlet
You might
have heard or read about the recent incidence that is currently breaking the
internet on how a Ghanaian girl was electrocuted while using a power bank – and
this was how it all happened;
According to
sources, the Ghanaian was making use of her Power Bank that was plugged into an
AC outlet, and she did so to enable the Power Bank to charge up when power is
restored.
On the cause
of using the power bank, she felt asleep and slept off while having the power
bank on her chest.
Then unfortunately
power was restored and there was a surge in voltage and heavy current flowed
into the power bank and she was electrocuted by the power bank stocked on her
cleavage.
Now this is
an eye opener for all, that apart from this ugly incidence it is totally unsafe
to plug a power bank and still be using the power bank at the same time.
2. Plugging a phone and using the phone
at the same time to be making/receiving call
Many of you are also guilty of this particular act, and you
should desist from it completely – similar case as the one above has been
reported in the past where the victim plugged his phone and was making a call.
The precautionary measure here is that when you plug your
phone and want to use it to make/receive call, you should unplug the phone completely
before using and then after making/receiving your calls you can then plug it back
and leave it to charge.
3. Making use of your laptop directly on
your lap close to your manhood/womanhood
In as much
as it is regarded as laptop, it doesn’t necessary mean that you should be using
it on your lap in the manner that can endanger your health.
Always avoid
placing laptops directly without shield on your lap and more so keeping it very
close to your manhood.

The heat
generated by your laptop on prolong usage can damage your manhood when you place
it directly on your lap.
Better still
for convenience, you can easily place your laptop on a desk and if you must
place it on your lap then you should be mindful of the proximity to your
manhood/womanhood.
4. Putting your phone on loudspeaker
while making use of it very close to your ear in making/receiving calls
If you must
make use of your phone on loudspeaker then you should avoid placing it very
close to your ear.
Sometimes there
could be a surge in sound while making use of your phone on loudspeaker and the
sound could come out loud enough to cause deafness.
5.
Placing and making use of laptop on a
bed
Some of you
are also guilty of this; you make use of your laptop while placing it on bed.
This time
around for the safety of your gadget, you should avoid this act totally.
Your bed can
easily block the vent of your laptop causing it to overheat and unlike when you
place it on flat plane surface.
Finally
safety measures are important things you should always have at the back of your
mind and not even only when making use of your tech gadgets but also in all
ramifications of life.
By so doing,
you end up prolonging your life, equipment/gadgets and keeping a better
environment.
So, stay
safe and play safe all the time and do not be victim of unsafe acts!
