Inconvenient Tech

Honestly, our modern technology is a double-edged sword. In my experience, technology has actually caused some minor damage and bodily harm. Not long after I got my laptop, I discovered it had a major problem with overheating. I had to get a cooling pad, or it would shut itself off. It got hot enough to burn skin…… cow skin. It literally singed the leather on the couch. I carried it to the freezer with oven mitts. In a similar incident, a few months prior to that, I was at a friend’s house, working on a project. I had set my Dr. Pepper between our computers, and left it there. When I came back, it was boiling. Boiling. I kid you not. The can of Dr. Pepper was boiling, to the point that the can was vibrating. Fortunately, nothing else happened. Long story short, technology can be dangerous, even the parts that seem totally harmless.
