Technology has advanced our lives to such an extent that everything seems to be so easy and simple for us. But do you actually know everything about these gadgets that you use on daily basis? Well, the reality is that you might be unaware of a lot of things and chances are high that even you've fallen prey to all those myths about these gadgets. Take a look...

Charging Your Phone Overnight

We generally believe that phones shouldn't be left charging overnight or it'll ruin your battery. The reality is that all modern smartphones have Lithium-ion batteries. Once they are fully charged, they will stop drawing power and charging.

Viruses don’t attack Mac computers

'Viruses don’t attack Mac computers' this statement is as false as 'Grapes are red.' No computer is ever safe from viruses unless they have firm anti viruse software in place.

The incognito mode on your browser protects your data

Nope, it doesn't. Let's end the discussion right here. The mode only deletes locally stored data. All your external websites and internet providers can still easily track your data.

Clicking “Refresh” makes activity and tasks faster

If this was true, no system would ever hang. This is never true. On a Windows-based computer, pressing the function key F5 will refresh the web page being viewed on all browsers.

You should always disconnect the USB correctly

If there is no activity happening, you can just remove the USB without the extra hassle of eject. Safely removing it is only mandatory when saving items because your computer then checks all changes have been saved and that there is no transfer going on with the USB.

Don't Charge Your phone until the battery is completely drained

Now this is one of the funniest myth people follow. There is no such rule and no, charging your phone before the battery is drained out won't harm it!
