Learn some amazing facts about cell phones with this new infographic
Share:
Well, that seems to be the reality, at least if we decide to trust this infographic (And it doesn't have any reasons to be lying to us now, does it?). Here's our favorite fact from the infographic that you can find below: the average phone is said to include about 3% gold. Now, if we combine that gold from all cell phones in the world, it will make for the whooping 26,000 tons of gold! Blimey, if we had that much gold, we would be writing articles about cell phones all day long! But if you are not really into gold, you can always sell it for about $1.1 trillion on the U.S. markets.
Also, it turns out that if take all phones in the world and stack them up, we'll be able to climb about 48,000 miles up! That will be enough to reach the International Space Station and go back down 120 times. It won't be enough, however, for us to reach the moon, as the distance to the Moon is about 238855 miles. So it's clear then, we need more phones!
Check out the infographic below for even more interesting facts about cell phones!

I wounder how much silver is in each cellphone beside 3% gold because I might start a new business buying broken phones to collect the precious metals inside them.

PA, how about an article on 'How to extract that 3% of gold from your old mobile'...cause i got 3 bricks at home, which should add to 9%, lol. Sounds fun and profitable! :D

There is a video in youtube showing us how to collect gold from old computer desktop cpu. They didn't say which one has more gold the Intel or AMD.

The average iPhone is a dumb phone. So dumb in fact that it's about 600 times less intelligent than human stupidity. And Human stupidity is infinite!

really? a lot of iphones and driods? what planet are you speaking of? WHoever wrote this needs a lesson on how small those %'s are. MOST people (those billions) don't have smart phones. Do your research, check it, write it down...blog it...then check your facts sir, before spouting off making these silly slides.

The info-graphic is about cell phones not just smartphones. It says nothing about smartphones.
