Our reliability on Gadgets

Have you ever wondered, if your phone switched off without your knowing it? The car you drove suddenly develops a problem? what do you do, when that gadget is needed the most!
I personally have seen and realized the importance of us ( we users) testing and making sure our gadgets run right once in a while.

Most of the funny problems come when you need them the most. Its something that cannot be explained, and cant be expressed easily. My grandmother who isn't any more, had seen people in the early 60's with a transistor radio which people would carry along with them. She wondered if a phone could be that way(she was not educated much and had no exposure to technology).
When I am in another network, My cell searches for network on its own. But it doesn't hook up sometimes and then I keep searching manually. I have found the phone hangs sometimes too. This is not with a particular model, but with several models that I have used earlier.
When things like these happen, is when we have the most anxious moments! calls fom home, office, or Boss calling up & we aren't reachable.

I have learned a valuable lesson in handling gadgets - giving them rest for a few hours everyday, to let them work promptly. And all batteries usually have 1000 or more charging lives in them. I use my phone till its down till 20% of its life, then charge it. If you increase the intervals at which you charge your instrument, you actually end up increasing its life. I switch off my phone at night and make sure I switch it on when I wake up! Adjusting the brightness on the phone, where it is good enough for you to look at too improves battery life. Its also good one way that you keep away from the phone for a while in the day! Ya, many people have two phones, which they can alternately keep switching off.

Mankind has developed enough gadgets to keep him hooked to 2 or more at any point in time. Life saving equipment used in hospitals which are very reliable! Every time you use a lift, a mode of transport, communication equipment, every gadget that makes your life simple... we need to thank the people who have put their efforts in creating a better future and making things work better everytime. Nothing is more precious than life.. mankind!
