Danger - Laptop In Bed

Gambar sekadar hiasan dari Google
Please take time to read! Very important!You may have heard that a good friend of ours in Mequon lost their 25 year old son (Arun Gopal Ratnam) in a fire at home on June 4th. This is what happened.
He graduated with MBA from University of Wisconsin-Madison two weeks earlier and came home. He had a lunch with his dad at home and decided to go back to to clean up his room at school. His father told him to wait and see his mother before he goes back for a few days. He decided to take a snooze while waiting for his mom to come home from work.Neighbours called 911 when they saw black smoke coming out of the house. Their 25 year old son Arun died in the three year old house.
It took several days of investigation to find out the cause of the fire. It was determined that the fire was caused by the laptop in the bed. When the laptop was on the bed the cooling fan did not get enough air to cool the computer and that was what caused the fire. He did not even wake up to get out of the bed. He died of carbon monoxide.
The reason I am writing this to all of you is that I have seen all of us using our laptop in bed. Let us all decide and make it a practice not to do that. Risk is real. Let us make it a rule not to use laptop in bed or put computer in bed with blankets and pillows around.
p/s: I dapat article ni dari my email, so nak share dengan korang yang mungkin taktahu. Actually, I pun suka jugak buat activity macam ni. Nak selesa lah kengkononnya tapii Risk is REAL, my friend. So, kita perlu berhati-hati selalu. Meja computer ada, silalah guna :)
