Wearing an iPod during a lightning storm is hazardous to your health. Well, not exactly limited to the iPod, but any electronic device might put you in danger, especially during a lightning storm due to the gadget’s ability to conduct electricity. This was the case in 2005 when a man jogging and a nearby tree were struck by lightning. The electric current of the lightning was conducted by the iPod he was using and traveled the path of the earphones ending in his ear. Two years have passed and half of his hearing is gone and despite the use of hearing aides, he is still unable to hear high-frequency sounds. What’s the moral of the story? Well, technology and gadgets, such as the iPod, are there to make life better, but caution should always be exercised so as not to put our lives in danger just to tote our beloved gadgets around with us.
