@ Shilpan: I think you would be awesome at that position too (mind therapy for technology imbalance).

@ Jesse: I think you’ve made a wise decision. Boredom is certainly preferable to collision.

@ Al: Interesting point. And, why on earth would anyone text message while watching a movie?

Text messaging can be just as bad. Lately it’s been impossible to go to a movie without someone texting a friend. I don’t hear them, but in the dark theater, the ilght from their phone is very distracting. I’ve just come to accept it, because it seems like texting in theaters is here to stay.

I’m very familiar with this one–I’ve done it many, many times. Many, many times.

Problem is, talking on the cell phone while driving does negatively impact one’s driving ability and focus. I’m very familiar with that too.

Thus, I’ve been trying to cut down on the time I spend cell phoning while driving. Increasingly, I’d rather be bored but safe than entertained but dead.

This is wittingly written. It’s amazing how evasive this cell phone in our lives is. It’s a great handy tool of communication around the world but definitely with some major strings attached. As we’ve advanced as a society, technology has played an increasing role in controlling out lives. Some day there will be a professional degree in – Mind therapy for technology imbalance.
