As for texting, I can only just about use the mobile for answering a call. I don't know how (the kids especially) are so fast at this game. |

It's a video camera's view of a woman walking through a mall while texting on her phone. She is not paying attention and trips right over a low wall into a water fountain! Lol. |

I see a group of men walking to the store every lunchtime, and they walk together but heads are down and thumbs are in position!! I don't even own a cell phone! |

What concerns me more are the horrendous accidents being caused by people texting while driving - this is really scary. In a study of distracted drivers the texters were found to be more dangerous behind the wheel than drunk drivers!!! |

Maybe I'll be able to find it. Here you go: http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_9360000/newsid_9366900/9366996.stm

Poor puppy. Lol. Seriously though. It has recently become law and therefore a crime. If caught in the act the first offence carries a $100.00 dollar fine, the second $250.00, and the third $500.00. Of course, the people who need the law won't pay any attention to it, making it obsolete. It's just like anything else; if you have to be told not to do something stupid, then you're probably too stupid to understand the consequences of such behavior. |
