Wonderful Engineering

When the flight attendant tells you to turn off your mobile devices before takeoff, you best do as they say. If you won’t, the plane isn’t going to crash — but there is a very good reason why they are asking you to turn them off. This is because cellular signals are strong enough to get in the way of air traffic control frequencies, which is very dangerous when the plane is trying to take off or to land. Oftentimes, takeoff takes longer than expected, so to help ease the process along, turn off your devices when the little light tells you to. There’s an airplane mode for a reason.
