$10,000 for a dorm room designer?

Not trying to correct you at all, but we old folk are all talking about candles and walkmen, but time has moved on and now it is tablets and phones and other things that are overheating and not space heaters or coffee pots or crockpots.

The overheated phone was a while ago and I know batteries are better now but still…I wouldn’t have worried about a cell phone doing that until my friend sent me a picture of his (former) mattress all burned.

I’m sure my kids were sleeping with their phones under their pillows (afraid of sleeping through an important call or text) so off went a warning to stop doing that.

That’s very true. Another issue aligned with the batteries is the growth in unregulated after-market chargers.

Sleeping with a phone is a terrible idea for numerous reasons… fire probably being one of the less prevalent but more direct/severe risks.

That Walkman really was the shiznit. A digital tuner! And you could even tune into TV audio!
