It's time to accept that we will die at the hands of our smartphones

What end could be more fitting for the self-respecting modern human than death by a randomly exploding handset?

If you take Benjamin Franklin at his word, death is coming. The good and the bad, the young and the old, the in-the-middle: as far as we know, none will live forever. The idea of an eventual death is something that was widely accepted as "true" long ago, but, like many things, it must be updated to suit the modern day. It's time to accept that when death does come for us, it will be at the hand of our smartphone.

And isn't that comforting?
