Technology has increased and improved communications for many people worldwide. Yet with all the improvements there is always a downside. People walk around with their heads down thumbing away at their electronic devices. They communicate with everyone via text and disregard those surrounding them.
In the banks, on the streets, in the grocery stores, everyone is preoccupied with their electronic conversations. If this wasn’t bad enough people text while biking and while this should be considered dangerous, one factor that tops it all, is those who text while driving.
A UK Commercial really stirred the minds of teens and adults. The video is equivalent or comparable to a triple-mega version of a public service announcement here in the United States. The point of this video is to scare texters, particularly teens about the risks involved in texting while driving. The video displays in graphic details the high possibility of an accident that may occur as a result of texting while operating a motor vehicle.
This video should require viewing before any teen or adult gets their driver’s license or renewal. It is a powerful way to slap those who text into reality. A lot of states are working hard to make driving while texting illegal. It is true that technology has allowed people to reconnect and to keep in touch with friends and family around the globe. It is for this reason technology isn’t totally bad. Yet, It is the people that misuse and abuse it that are causing problems for everyone else.
Deadly results have proven that technology can be a distraction. A distraction that can have deadly effects on those that focus on their devices instead of walking, biking, or driving. Viewing this video may be a reminder to drivers about the dangers they face when they focus on texting rather than focusing on the road while driving.
