simply sellular scam? waterproofing cell phones
DESCRIPTION
Remember waterproof disposable cameras? For a few bucks, you could buy a disposable camera encased in a plastic body, suited for underwater photography. Whether you were goofing around in a swimming pool or snorkeling in Hawaii, those plastic cases kept your film and camera technology safe from the water. Modern technology deals with the idea of waterproofing a bit differently. For starters, it's invisible. Waterproofing gadget simply started with cameras, or not? Only a small amount of money is needed to buy a disposable camera encased in a waterproof casing, suited for underwater photos. A lot of strategies and new innovations has been made for technology to spread and be safe underwater. As in the case of mobile phones, it's invisible. Another simply sellular scam? Or maybe not.TRANSCRIPT
