For Americans, texting has become the new normal.
Everywhere you go and every place you look, you will see countless people with their heads buried in their cellular device texting. It’s almost becoming more common to hear someone say, “Text me!” rather than, “Call me.” or “I’ll call you later.” It’s not that texting is wrong, what’s wrong is texting at inappropriate times when your full attention and awareness is needed and required. Because of the rapid growth of text messaging, the number of car accidents involving the usage of a cellular device has increased as well…
significantly.
