Mobile Communication Devices
By
I've noticed the infiltration of the mobile communication everywhere around me. I steadfastly refuse to join the ranks of the masses with mobile communication in my pocket. I can't seem to go anywhere anymore without seeing someone with mobile communication talking. I walked across a college campus and saw a group of five students talking. I thought they were talking to each other, but at closer inspection, they were talking on mobile communication devices. It was strange to see a group of people talking but not talking to each other.

someone using mobile communication in just about every other car these days. If you pull up to a traffic light and the person in the car next to you is not using mobile communication, then the car behind you has a driver that is.
The only times that I like to have mobile communication is when I am driving across the state. It is a long drive when you cross Texas and there can be very long stretches where there are no towns or people other than fellow drivers. In these instances, I have access to mobile communication by borrowing my mother-in-law's device.
More and more kids need mobile communication now. I was surprised when my elementary school age child approached me for a mobile communication device. I flat out said no. I have no interest in keeping him connected to his friends using this technology. He can use a land-line phone like I did when I was a kid.
There are more and more states and municipalities that are enacting ordinances targeting mobile communication devices. There are studies that show how distracted a driver can be while using one. It is frightening how many accidents are caused by carelessness while using a mobile communication device.
