Whilst recently on vacation, a dear family member I was with managed to drop her phone into a glass of water. The logistics of such a feat aside (we were beside a pool that was just begging for her to drop it there, but she managed to hit a small glass), we all know the result - a non-working device, sometimes temporarily, but more often forever.
This sort of accident - dropping your phone in water - is so common that phone manufacturers have taken to putting a little telltale inside them that indicates water immersion. This proves that the hapless owner who is trying to exchange said non-working phone as defective has actually voided the warranty by attempting to continue a conversation over a body of water.
However, my point today is that our happy home planet is 70% covered with water. So why aren't such valuable goodies waterproof? The odds of the inadvertant slip finding dry earth are clearly NOT in our favor.
