Criança de seis anos sofre queimaduras depois de telemóvel explodir na mão enquanto jogava videojogos
Menino sofreu queimaduras de segundo e terceiro graus nos braços, mãos, tórax e no queixo.
Um menino de seis anos sofreu queimaduras no corpo depois do telemóvel explodir na mão, enquanto jogava um videojogo, em Recife, no Brasil, na manhã desta terça-feira.
Segundo apurou a TV Globo, citada pelo G1, a criança estava a jogar um jogo com o telemóvel conectado à tomada, quando o acidente aconteceu.
Imagens que circulam nas redes sociais mostram a criança com várias queimaduras nos braços e barriga. A explosão provocou ainda um buraco no colchão onde o menino estava sentado.
A mãe explicou que tinha visto a criança com o aparelho e tirou-lho da mão para o guardar. De seguida, o menino pegou no telemóvel novamente, ligou à tomada para carregar e começou a jogar. Pouco depois, a mulher ouviu o barulho da explosão e o grito do filho.
A progenitora disse que viu o telemóvel em cima do colchão em chamas, quando chegou ao lugar onde a criança estava.
O menino foi levado para a Unidade de Pronto Atendimento de Caxangá, de onde foi transferido mais tarde para o Hospital da Restauração. A criança permanece internada na Unidade de Queimados. Sofreu queimaduras de segundo e terceiro graus nos braços, mãos, tórax e no queixo e apesar do susto, está fora de perigo.

In an effort to embrace more traditional educational methods, schools in Sweden are abandoning screens and digital teaching to return to classic teaching with books and hand-written notes. This shift marks a return to the fundamentals of learning—encouraging students to engage with physical materials, and promoting a more tactile, mindful approach to education.

The decision to move away from screens reflects a growing concern about the over-reliance on technology in classrooms. While digital tools have their place, the benefits of hands-on learning cannot be ignored. Teachers in Sweden are aiming to foster deeper concentration, better retention of knowledge, and improved writing skills by returning to traditional methods.

This shift also highlights the importance of balance in modern education. While technology can be a valuable asset for teaching, it’s essential to ensure that it doesn’t overshadow fundamental skills like reading, writing, and critical thinking. By returning to books and hand-writing, Sweden is teaching its students that learning is about more than just the latest apps—it’s about truly engaging with the material.

The return to traditional learning doesn’t mean rejecting technology entirely. It’s about creating a healthy balance between the two. In the digital age, children often face the challenge of balancing screen time with real-world experiences. Schools are teaching students how to focus and immerse themselves in meaningful learning without the distractions of endless notifications and digital overstimulation.

This move could inspire other countries to reassess their approach to education, ensuring that their students develop essential life skills while still embracing technology. It’s a thoughtful reminder that the core of education is about cultivating creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking—qualities that remain just as important in the digital age. ✨💭
