There is an article in The New York Time. And its title is : Some Low-Tech Fixes for High-Tech Problems. This article talks about that some high- tech products' problems can be solved by some tricks. I think some tricks are worth sharing with you:
1. Do you know that your cellphone will lose its battery charge fast if you put it in your pocket? Part of the reason is your pocket is warm that might speed up chemical processes inside the cellphone's battery. That makes it lose charge faster. So that means the battery lasts longer if kept in cool. And the article suggests us to put our cellphones in the refrigerator to make the batteries not lose charge quickly...... do you want to try?
2. No one wants this happens: dropping the cellphone in the water( in the article is in the toilet, I change the word.) But it could happen to anyone(it is not a curse.) According to the article, if you dropped your cellphone in the water, you should scoop up it and take the battery out as soon as you can instead of just looking at your cellphone bubbling in the water. And then cover it with uncooked rice(<--extravagant!!). Because rice has high chemical affinity for water, so that rice can avoid water invading deeper into the cellphone. (......==)
In conclusion, there are many tricks about dealing with high-tech problem. Do you have your own trick? (Such as beating on the computer's particular site when it crashed...) Share with us!
