Over the years in which I have been a fan of technology, I have seen more than my fair share of wild rumours. There is, after all, always something moderately appealing of finding a ‘hack’ to make your tech life much simpler. There is, however, usually a common theme. Namely, that the vast majority of rumours on how to improve X or Y are largely either fake or, at best, inaccurate.
What kind of rumours or myths? Well, how about these?
In a survey conducted by ‘highspeedinternet‘, however, it seems that many Americans believe some of the more popular myths to be absolute fact.
In fairness, while the figures might be surprisingly high, it’s more a case of ignorance and the amount of poor information spread on the internet that really catches most people out. Fortunately, out of the 6 the survey listed above, I knew all of them to be untrue. The nature of the internet, however, and people searching for solutions does encourage the more ‘clickbait’ nature of ‘here’s the solution to your problem’.
It’s like Googling a problem on your car. You’ll probably find 6 different sources all citing different solutions.
Remember, however, in the future to take any of the more weird and wonderful solutions with more than a little dose of cynicism.
What do you think? What’s the weirdest tech myth you’ve ever encountered? – Let us know in the comments!
