I resisted buying a cell phone for a long time. But when I finally did get one, I realized that this was a tool worth having. Yes, it can be dangerous, if misused. Yes, it can be an interruption to engagement with the moment, if misused. The challenge for the user is to reap the benefits, while avoiding the dangersAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462714824823663318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2972476768782010154.post-36543788085863956352013-07-15T15:00:58.614-05:002013-07-15T15:00:58.614-05:00That article was no joke, at the same time it does...That article was no joke, at the same time it doesn't surprise me that much. And those statistics Ai brought's are crazy, people texting while driving are acting like dumbasses, seriously. I'm happy that i gave up on cellphones years ago, old school phones are doing the job just right.<br /><br />Plus doesn't that shit sucks when you can't even do one thing without reveiving two thousands calls, three hundred text messages and all that bullshit. And i like to disconnect that old school phone too, how can i sleep and try to do my things like working out, reading, watching good movies, translating and other stuff when the phone is ringing and dancing all around the appartment all day long. With the phone disconnected, i can relax and focus on more important things.Steve Caissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205605392347205255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2972476768782010154.post-76773931131262600102013-07-15T13:33:30.808-05:002013-07-15T13:33:30.808-05:00Not to mention, the rates of death are devastating...Not to mention, the rates of death are devastatingly high due to texting and driving. 23% of collisions involve cellphones. (that's 1.3 million collisions!) Can you imagine years from now? with all the capabilities that are portable on hand, it's only going to get higher.<br /><br />For everytime I'm the passanger & not the driver, I get very nervous when I see my driver texting.I admit, I do talk on the phone (yes, I know :( not good either) but texting? your eyes aren't even on the road! <br /><br />I can't help but flash back and think of the dont text and drive commercials of real (not staged) families that have lost loved ones/ disabled due to stupid texts like " I'm on my way." <br /><br />People are stubborn, and God forbid won't learn until something happens to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
