Why do pilots ask you to turn off all electronics on planes?

Question by ?::?©?®ë?$::?: Why do pilots ask you to turn off all electronics on planes?

Answer by sjcdal
I don’t know of a GPS that will plan a route for you based on multiple addresses. I prefer the GPS that is on my smartphone. It is from TELENAV. It will let you put in multiple destinations, save them to your favorites or a named folder….I do this for trips. Name a folder LAS VEGAS, then look up all the addresses on the included website application (much easier than pecking it out on a small keyboard),then download the whole folder to my phone over the air.
Works for me. However, for loudness you are limited to the speakerphone in the phone.
One final advantage to using a phone-based app. Always updated, because you are actually going to the web…so no outdated maps.
This function is included at no additional charge on Sprint data plans.

Question by Lenny: What is the most difficult contemporary problem in electronics engineering?
I’m asking all you professional electrical and electronics engineers out there. What problem (or problems) is/are there in your field that no one has solved, or even approached?

To give you an idea of my level of technical understanding, I’m a third-year electrical engineering undergraduate student at the Clark engineering school.

Best answer:

Answer by Villhelm
You’d be better to approach the lecturers/researchers at Clark, or just ask some of the people there (perhaps post grad’s if there are any around that you can find).
