IS MORE REALLY BETTER?

Ever changing wireless technology has resulted in devices packed with features. You can get everything from a MP3 player to a camera. Everything from web browsers to text messaging. Everything from GPS navigation to well, who knows. The real question on the table is how much is enough?

The reality is that cell phones are often not just cell phones. It is important that we be reached when necessary. It is important that we have a cell phone for security and safety reasons. It is critical that a 911 phone call can be made in an emergency to increase the likelihood that we or someone nearby can be saved just that much quicker. But once all the practical issues have been accomplished, what’s wrong with a little extra extra. I enjoy being entertained with music while riding on a train to the office. I like knowing that if I get lost (and I often do) that the GPS navigation feature will keep me from wandering too far off track. I like knowing that with a few keystrokes I can notify my family where I am and when I’ll be home.

Personally, I celebrate the advancements. It’s great that before I even know I need it the cellphone manufacturers have thought of one more upgrade that eventually I just can’t live without.

And, I know that when I trade up to the next, greatest invention there is a reasonable, financially responsive way for me to get rid of the older, slower not as great unit.

Save a Wet Cellphone

Just dropped your cell phone in a sink full of water? Well, there may be a way to salvage your phone. Immediately turn the cell phone off and remove the battery - DO NOT TURN YOUR PHONE BACK ON. Dry it off as much as possible. You can do this manually or in a slightly heated oven on a safe surface. Put the phone and battery in a dry, warm spot with good ventilation. Let the parts dry for at least 2 days. Now you can re-insert the battery and make a test call.

This does not always work, but it's always worth a try.
