Are Our Smart Phones Going To Explode ?
They just showed us what horrifying acts can actually be done using the most common type of modern technology.
Are We Safe ?
That is not a hyperbolic question, at least not in this context. If this can be done with pagers, there is no logical way to explain why it can't be done with Smart Phones, Tablets, Laptops, or an Electric Vehicle. They all have exactly the same two components that were used to detonate these pagers, those being basic communications technology, and batteries. It's a bit more technical than that, but at the same time it is just that simple.
There have been numerous isolated incidents of cell phones, or even some electric vehicles just spontaneously exploding. Now we have to ask ourselves how many of them were actually from faulty batteries, or programming glitches. There has always been minor speculation, that these technologies could be weaponized and turned against the general public. They just made those back page conspiracies about it, into verifiable front page global news.
The potential of malicious actors doing terrible things, has always been minimized by defensive actions of our governments. At least that is what we have all been lead to believe. It is fair to say now, that belief has just become questionable at best. Just look at the number of cell phone towers in any populated area, and also consider the vast number of communications satellites. They are running such a large number of devices, that most people can not even imagine how many there really are. For instance there are over 7 billion smart phones, and just under a billion tablets. They are in the hands of school children rather than pencil and paper in many places, and even in the faces of toddlers who are all over the world watching YouTube Kids.
This is not just some technology that only militant people, or those involved in conflict have. This is the everyday technology stuff that's propped up on the countertop playing a cooking video, while some mom follows along. Or sitting in the pocket of nearly every person not living in a third world country. Hell, even they aren't completely safe from the threat, there are just a lot less digital communications devices in those areas, not a total lack of them. From Police, to members of Military, or Student and Civilian work forces, these devices have become mandatory.
So the big question remains….
Now what do we do ?
Now that the metaphorical “cat” is out of the bag, what are the people who know this supposed to do? There really is no right answer to this question, simply because of the vast amount of nuance as to why people must have these technologies for work, school, or millions of other reasons. So the best thing we can offer is skeptical caution.
1. Keep your phone in an external storage medium rather than in your pocket. Put it in a purse, back pact, briefcase.. etc.
Be situationally aware.
Stay alive, and help your family and friends to do the same.
Know that the people telling you that this can not happen to you, or even that it can't happen in America or Europe, are either seriously misinformed, or lying to you.
Become Amish. ( 😁 )
Okay, so the last one is a joke, but if you really think about it…. 🤔
Conclusion : They have us in a catch 22 situation, a real pickle if you will. We live in a time where the Government says these events are simply unpredictable, but at the same time conspiracy theorists and many plain citizens who noticed had said something about it, and were ridiculed. It's almost like the topics of all the wildest conspiracies, and paranoid delusions, have begun to become the most likely outcome. For example…..
Question : What's going to happen tomorrow?
Answer : Whatever the “conspiracy theorists” were talking about roughly 6 months ago.
Thank you for reading, if you enjoyed it, or if you despised it, then please be so kind as to secretly poke the Like Button 💚 below, or share it with at least 7 strangers, but only as a secret right of initiation. After that, simply throw 7 darts at a map of the world, and move to one of the places that none of them managed to hit. Not only will that place smell much better than where you are currently living, but it will also only have an idiot population of 1. Which we all know is far better than the current ratio.
