Sounds like a self-correcting problem. For the most part.
If innocent people are dying as a result, how exactly is it a self-correcting problem in any way?
>>Sounds like a self-correcting problem. For the most part.
Not really. Not even close. Every year, cell phones and social media find new ways to integrate themselves into people’s lives. A couple of deaths a day (and the dead person is often NOT the cell phone abuser) do not come close to countering this trend.
There are people who think that the world needs to just stay out of their way when they need to use a cell phone and the number is growing and it expanding outside of the young adult demographic.
The funny part is that the worst cell phone abusers are people who will lecture you endlessly on “social responsibility” as long as you are talking about global warming, saving the whales, or ending poverty. But, question them about their responsibility to the person right next to you when they are texting and driving or walking into them in the mall and they go crazy. Apparently “social responsibility” does not count if you can make physical contact with the person who is asking you to be responsible.
What if you aren’t one of those who texts and drives but you are struck by one who texts and drives?
Is that self-correcting?
Unfortunately not. Rather like drunk driving the texted usually kills someone else not themselves
