I remember being in a crowded pub in the days when smoking was allowed. I was holding a full glass in my hand when someone accidentally touched the back of my hand with a lighted cigarette. I instinctively pulled my hand away and threw a half of lager in my face. Not one of the more obvious dangers of smoking😏
In a similar situation, a fried of mine was singed but had the presence of mine to shout 'Fire' and throw her drink over the idiot with the cigarette.

I spend several hours a day on Zoom and Teams at the moment. You get used to it. I was in a meeting the other day with someone who has a 'meeting owl'. It made me slightly seasick. I'll probably get used to that eventually, as well

From this end I can't actually see the owl, so I don't know. All I see is a picture that drifts slowly from side to side or suddenly swoops round the room when someone sneezes.

I zoom for meetings. With larger meetings, I find it very liberating to keep my camera off and my mute button - except when I want to speak. It's more like being on the phone, but with lots of people. More and more I just listen. (All the meetings I'm at have no important visual info - just updating each other).
As with all things, computers are going to offer much more ease of use than a phone. For anything more complicated than texting, (Facebook, video calls, email) ditch the phone and use a computer. Whatsapp is very much easier on a computer, esp if you are in many groups or a group admin.
