Over the years change has been a constant variable that all the varying societies and civilizations have seen. We have seen political power change, laws change, prices drop or rise, and specially the trends within the world. However, one thing that has certainly set the stage for new opportunities, and future success upon each generation is the drastic change of technology that each year brings. Computers, televisions, and iPods have revolutionized the way that we not only think, but also live our lives today. However, one invention to date has paved the way for possibilities and problems alike, the cell phone.
Cell phones can be seen not only in every family, but every individual in a family. From young, to old, students, to adults cell phones have many different functional purposes that range from entertainment to communication, and even software editing. Yet, with so much to do on cell phones today who’s stopping someone from putting it down, even when driving?
Studies have shown that texting and driving are now more dangerous in comparison to drinking and driving on roadways today. Similar to drunken driving, texting while driving exhibits similar behavior with drivers swerving in between lines and speeding then stopping abruptly around fellow vehicle drivers. A study showed that a driver who sent an average text message exhibited the same driving as an individual with the blood alcohol content of 0.08 and even higher.
Each year many people who text and drive not only die, but contribute to the death of many. Some vehicles now have the feature of a hands free texting and talking, but it really does not help anything that much except another form and filter in which a person to be messing with on top of a cell phone as well.
Inevitably, many people will obviously be upset at first if a law is passed limiting, or banning the use of a cell phone in a motor vehicle besides that of GPS devices, but overall Americans should not be concerned with their emails, planners, or social networking when they are behind the wheel of a vehicle.
