5 Tech Myths Busted!

5 Tech Myths Busted!

Myth 1: Signal Bars Show Speed

Contrary to popular belief, the signal bars on your phone do not indicate the speed of your connection, but rather the proximity to the nearest cell tower. Even if you have a full signal, the network may be busy and your connection can still feel slow.

Myth 2: Airplane Mode Charges Your Phone Faster

It is true that turning on airplane mode can shave off a minute or two of charging time, but this is only because it prevents your battery from draining while it is plugged in. Airplane mode has nothing to do with the actual charging process.

Myth 3: More Megapixels Equals Better Photos

Although it is true that a higher megapixel count can capture more detail, there are many other factors that contribute to the quality of a photo. Modern cameras are so advanced that the megapixel count is becoming less and less relevant.

Myth 4: Closing Apps Will Speed Up Your Phone

In reality, closing apps can actually slow down your phone. Smartphones are designed to handle multiple apps at once, so if you keep closing them, your phone will use more power to load them back up again.

Myth 5: Private Browsing Mode is Anonymous

Private browsing mode is a great way to keep your browsing history private, but it does not make you anonymous. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the websites you visit can still track your activity.
