Ucwaningo oluncane luye lwenziwe ukuze kuboniswe kahle ukuthi amaselula ethu angathinta kanjani impilo yethu. Kodwa-ke, izifundo ezimbalwa ezenzelwe - nokuqonda okuvamile -sitshele ukuthi zingcolile. Amaseli ethu omakhalekhukhwini afakwa amagciwane angasenza sigule.
Impela yonke ifoni ehloliwe ihlanganiswe ngamagciwane, abanye bebi kakhulu kunabanye.
Eqinisweni, isifundo esenziwa ngabacwaningi eLondon School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine e-Queen Mary, eYunivesithi yaseLondon sathola enye yezingcingo eziyisithupha ababezifundele ngempela. Kulungile, ama-16% amafoni ahlolwe ayenama-poop. E. coli itholakala enkingeni yefecal uma uzibuza ukuthi kungani lokho kubalulekile.
Kunengqondo empeleni. Sithatha amafoni ethu yonke indawo. Baye baba yandisa ngokwethu. Sibathinta izikhathi ezingaphezu kosuku kunokuba singabalwa futhi ngokuqinisekile ngaphezu kwalokho esikubonayo. Ngenxa yokuthi asihlanganyeli nabo nabanye abantu abaningi, akusho ukuthi amagciwane avela ezinkulungwaneni zezinto esizithinta azithunyelwa kumafoni ethu.
Ukukhathazeka okubaluleke kakhulu inombolo yamafoni anenhloko yamafecu kubo. Ucwaningo olufanayo lwathola ukuthi abantu abangu-95% babika ukuthi bahlala begeza izandla ngemuva kokusebenzisa indlu yokugezela. Ngakho abanye kulabo bantu baqamba amanga (mhlawumbe) noma abanye balabo bantu basebenzisa amafoni abo ngenkathi basebenzisa indlu yokugeza futhi ngaphambi kokugeza izandla zabo (futhi kungenzeka).
Yuck.
Yini Ongayenza?
Ngeshwa, ukucabanga ukuthi ungakuhlanza kanjani ngokuphepha i-smartphone yakho esetshenziselwa sonke isikhathi kunzima nakakhulu kunalokho okufanele kube khona. Abakhiqizi abaningi bayeluleka ngokusebenzisa noma yiluphi uhlobo lokuhlanza indlu noma ngisho namanzi ukuhlanza ifoni yakho (futhi nje ukusebenzisa amanzi ngeke kwenzeke noma yikuphi okuhle).
Izindwangu zokuhlanza ze-microfiber zingase ziphephe futhi ziphumelele ekususeni ukungcola, kodwa ngeke zisuse amagciwane. Kukhona imikhiqizo embalwa ekhona ehlose ukuhlanza ama-Smartphones asebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obuhlukahlukene njengobukhanyisi be-UV, kodwa ukusebenza kwawo akucacile kuleli phuzu.
Ukuhlanza ifoni yakho ngotshwala kungaphazamisa amagciwane kodwa futhi kuyingozi ukulimaza ifoni.
Uma usebenzisa icala efonini yakho ehlanganisa ikhava yesikrini, inkinga kulula ukuyixazulula ngoba ungahlanza ikhava ngaphandle kwengozi yokulimaza ucingo ngokwayo.
Uma ungenayo icala elihlanganisa yonke ifoni, yenza konke ongakwenza ukulihlanza, geza izandla zakho njalo emva kokuthinta ifoni yakho futhi ungayisebenzisi uma usendlini yokugezela!
