DOCTORS WARN TEXTERS: DONT TEXT and WALK,BIKE,COOK, or DRIVE

After reading the article about “doctor warns texters” I learned that many accident happen because people are so busy with their phones that they have no time to watch the environment around them. But before I tell you about what I learned from reading the article let me discuss with you what I knew before. Before reading the article I knew that texting was a very popular way of communication and easiest. No matter were I go whether I’m traveling to school, walking to work, or just being out all I see are people with phones or devises in their hands texting. Talking is so over rated now for someone to be on the phone any more is like being the 2nd placeholder of an award. As for my self I do it all the time I think that most of my communication is texting more then it is talking on a phone.
After reading the article I learned a lot of things I learned that texting is more then a way of communication it a new way of getting hurt and even killed. While in a discussion with my class I learned that last year there was a girl who jumped into a train track just tow get here phone it was said that the young woman jumped into the train track not because of here up section of communication, but because she worked so hard to get the phone that she felt it was worth her life to jump in after it. In my opinion I just thing that electronics are like a drug once you have them you can’t live with out them. I also learned that people text while biking and driving. I think if there was a law put on not being able to talk on the phone while driving then texting should have been a common sense type, but what really caught my attention was the warning about texting and cooking. I was surprised when I found out that people get hurt while they cook it was mind blowing. Another thing I learned form reading the article was that while texting people don’t pay attention to the environment around them because there to busy looking at the screen of there phones, it sees that those who have a phone and spend most of there time on it after a while it becomes there lives and that is true. If you ever watch most of the people that walk in the street with there electronics it seems like most of there life is only in that one little space where there phone is, it would be rare if they lifted there head up for one second to look at what’s around them.
In my opinion I don’t think that texting is all that bad form personal experience. I also text a lot and do it on the go but I don’t believe that my whole life is in that one little space were my phone lays. I walk, text, and watch my surrounding and that help because you become better at multitasking. I’m not saying that every body is capable of multitasking but for those who can it helps improve their skill of doing it. I definitely would thing twice before trying to wake in a busy area or crossing the street while texting or being occupied with an electronic device.
