Power of Information at your Fingertips

My poor little brother was diagnosed with Bell's Facial Palsy last night, and it was traumatizing. It is a condition where one experiences paralysis in one or both sides of their faces. It is caused by the same virus (Herpes Zoster) as Shingles, which apparently lays dormant after contraction of Chicken Pox. Well, this virus affects the nervous system and can result in permanent damage if not treated promptly. 

How did I know all these? 

The 5800 served as my one-stop information centre as I surfed for details of the condition while my brother was consulting the doctor. Surfing speed was incredibly fast, so fast such that the doctor could not answer the questions I have for him quick enough. Well, it is a huge benefit to have information at your fingertips anytime you need it. 

Pau is lovin' the power of knowledge!
