This video is one that covers the world of texting, and the accidents that may occur while texting is distracting you. One girl fell 6 feet down into a manhole cover while another woman walked directly into a pole. The point of this interview and article is to show how distracting texting can really be, even when committing a harmless act such as walking. Add a 5 thousand pound vehicle into the mix, driving at 70 miles an hour and you have a real recipe for danger. People can walk into traffic, miss a step on the staircase, or run into the rear end of another vehicle all because their eyes and their reaction time was distracted by an incoming or outgoing message. I look forward to my presentation on Tuesday, and I look forward to gathering and organizing all of the materials that I have studied this entire semester. I feel like I can truly construct a sound argument for how dangerous texting can be, and for how damaging it has been to society in other aspects.
