   Forum: Embarrassing moments

   A lot of us just can’t live without our gadgets. In fact, we are so caught up in texting, tweeting, surfing and updating our Facebook statuses that we are unaware of what is happening in the world around us. Although gadgets are very useful, sometimes they can get us into trouble.

   I’ve had a few awkward moments while using some gadgets.

   1) The worst was with my dad’s GPS receiver last year. We went to London. My dad bought a GPS receiver so we could find our way around town easily. One evening I decided to use it to walk to a restaurant with my parents.

   2) I took it out of my dad’s pocket and entered the name of the restaurant. Everyone followed me eagerly. But after walking half an hour we found ourselves at the same spot. I was puzzled. Suddenly my sister pointed across the square. There was the restaurant.

   3) I felt so stupid in front of the others. Then, we understood. The GPS receiver was on driving mode and took us through all the one-way streets to reach the restaurant!

   I think the most embarrassing moment I’ve ever had with a gadget was with my new smartphone. My dad bought this really cool smartphone for my birthday.

   4) I couldn’t wait to try it out. I took it out of its box and started playing around with it. It has an excellent menu and loads of applications, but it was all new to me then. I was so busy going through the menu when suddenly I walked smack-bang into someone and their ice cream went all over me. Everyone around laughed at me standing there like a circus clown with ice cream all over my face.
