WARNING: DO NOT PLACE LAPTOP ON TOP OF LAP
Yeah, I know that sounds counter intuitive. That's like saying Warning: Do Not Place Microwave Popcorn in Microwave Oven. However, according to news reports, laptops can cause your skin to toast if placed on body parts for a long period of time. I knew that laptops ran hot and there was a concern for the well being of the laptop, but I had not really heard anything about the dangers for the human operator of these portable machines. Although, I do recall reading a story on the Internets about some guy who accidentally burned his private parts with a laptop, I wasn't too concerned because I wasn't sure the story was true and if it was true, it sounded like a freak accident and not a concern for the average laptop user. The interesting thing is that before 2010, I believe most people had never heard of legs getting burned or toasted by laptops. Then all of a sudden the big mega news story about the so called "Toasted Skin Syndrome" hit the airwaves and interwebs in October of that year. It was everywhere! It was on the morning shows. It was on the nightly news. It was on Google and Yahoo News. It was basically on every news network big and small, local, national, and global. And now almost a year later, I think the world has collectively forgotten about the news stories and their warnings about a laptop caused syndrome. I asked a friend the other day, "Remember how everyone was all in a frenzy about that Toasted Skin Syndrome?" She looked at me with a blank stare and asked "Toasted what?". And I guess that's the very reason I decided to create this page in an effort to help educate those who somehow missed the news tidal wave of 2010 and to refresh the memories of those who simply forgot.
