Talk about a problem solved through the Internet

MODEL ANSWER

There is no denying the fact that internet is one of the biggest problem solvers nowadays. There are millions of problems which people across the world solve using Internet every day. If you have any problem, be it personal, technological, medical or related to anything in life, Internet can offer you numerous solutions.

Today I would like to talk about a time when I fixed my mobile phone using the internet. Unfortunately, during the last winters, I accidentally dropped my phone in the water and it stopped working. I was standing in the kitchen, checking messages on my phone when suddenly my brother came from behind to scare me. I was not expecting him to be home so I got shocked and, in that moment, I dropped my phone into a jug full of water. I immediately pulled the phone out of water but by that time the damage was done and the phone stopped working. I felt really bad as it was an expensive new phone that I got recently as a gift.

I scolded my brother for scaring me like that but I was more worried about the phone as I did not have enough money to buy a new one or get it repaired. So, I immediately started searching google for solutions to my problem. Luckily, I found a video youtube explaining how to fix your phone in such scenarios.

The person in the video suggested to immediately disconnect the battery from the phone and use a hair dryer to blow the water away. After that I had to keep my phone in a rice container for a day. The rice would help to suck the moisture out of the phone. I immediately followed the procedure and prayed that it would work.

Most of the people who had viewed the video gave positive comments about this technique. It was one of the longest days of my life, I also kept this secret from my parents as they would also get worried and scold my brother. Next day I pulled the phone out of the container and connected the batteries and luckily it was working. I thanked God and sent a thanks message to the person who had made the video. So that was the day when Internet saved my life.
