If you do happen to put water near a computer and it spills then it could potentially break your computer. If it gets on the keyboard it'll either get into the system and wreck your memory and the rest of the computer, or if you are lcky enough to get it mopped up quickly then it could still stick your keyboard down and make it hard to use. Here's what to do if does get on:
1. Turn it off - If your computer is on, shut it off immediately and if not leave it off. Then remove the battery, A/C adapter, unplug from wall current and any external devices. The biggest danger thus far is that your machine could short out!
2. Turn laptop or keyboard upside down immediately to stop liquid seeping in.
3. Use paper towel to soak up any spillage or sticky bits you can get too, including any external devices or cards.
4. Disassemble computer or laptop where you can. Consult manual for further help.
5. Leave to dry for at least 24 hours. Do not turn power on before this time.
6. Clean with a solvent-based cleaner.
7. Put back together to see if working.

Water and liquids in general, are hazardous to many electrical components in a laptop or computer and can be expensive to fix or replace. Spillage onto the keyboard can cause damage to the hard drive and other components. Water damages the computers components, introduces a shock hazard and can completely destroy your machine.
Acidic liquids, such as sodas and coffees which are sticky, are more destructive than neutral water because the acid can cause corrosion to the metal contacts and internal circuit boards.
The most obvious method to prevent water damage is to keep liquids away from your laptop or computer. But in the event of a spillage, there are numerous actions you can take so don't panic yet.

What part of a bird touches water but never gets wet?
The part of a bird that touches water but never gets wet is its feathers, specifically the waterproof outer layer of feathers. Birds have a special oil produced by a gland near their tails that they spread over their feathers, creating a water-repellent barrier. This oil allows them to stay dry even when they are in or on the water.
