Future Possibilities of the Internet

Some government offices in the country, provinces and classes at a school closed early on Monday following a rumor spread through text messages that radiation from a nuclear power plant in Japan has reached the Philippines. 


The text message claims: ''BBC FLASHNEWS: japan govt cnfirms radiation leak at fukushima nuclear plants. Asian countries should take necessary precautions. Remain indoors first24hrs. Close doors n windows. Swab neck skin with betadine where thyroid area is, radiation hits thyroid first. Take extra precaution, radiation may hit Philippines startng 4pm 2day.''


If you received a similar text message mentioned above and continue to spread: PLEASE, DO NOT BELIEVE IT! DO NOT FORWARD IT! It's a false warning designed to spread unnecessary anxiety and confusion.
