Have Your Head Examined!

[Dad 818]

IMO, it comes down to paying attention. Especially when you drive. Have I texted when driving: yes. While I'm moving: no. Only at red lights and when stuck in traffic. And it's not just drivers who need to pay attention. Recently in Warwick a 15 year-old student was run over by a school bus and killed on her way to school. She crossed the street right near the school without looking. What was she doing? Listening to her I-pod and texting her friends.

What is TEXTING?
Where did I put that cell phone anyway? I thought I had one.
I don't even answer the damn thing when I am driving, nevermind text anyone.
It is the stupidest invention yet.
Here is a good example...
My niece texted (is that a word?) me to come pick her up at school.
2 hours later I hear a little beep coming from my pocketbook that I left out on the deck. I fly out the door and get her and she is all ticked off. "Why are you so late?"
Well duh, why didn't you just call the house phone?

Should have told her to "call a cab" next time she has to wait for you to drop what you are doing to go pick her up.
None of my neices or nephews have cell phones. Only a couple have Ipods.
Isn't amazing with all the resources available to these industry giants that ALL their advances are wasted on technology that is GUARANTEED to be obsolete? They put out new phones every year, and these POS are just glorified idiot boxes.

As for texting while driving, there are plenty of other things that you COULD do while driving that don't take but a second to do, like say juggling, butter toast, clip your fingernails, tie your shoes, count your change.... if you tried doing ANY of these while driving you would crash! Why would texting be any different?

I would like to know what caused that cape cod girl to cross over Rte 6 in Brewster and collide with the minivan (today's news). Unless she had an underlying health issue, I'd guess maybe cellphone, texting or some other distraction.
