Everyone has a cell phone these days, so everyone is texting all the time. People should be used to it by now. But they are not. I agree not paying attention to something more important than texting is very dangerous. Texting itself is not dangerous. Why do people thing the actual act of texting is dangerous?
Not paying attention to something more important than texting is very dangerous. If you are behind the wheel of a vehicle texting is not okay. Driving is way more important that what is going on on your phone. When some people are behind the wheel they think texting is perfectly okay, next thing they know, they're in the hospital with permanent injuries. They now have life long struggles over something that could have very easily been avoided if they would have just left the phone in their pocket. But it was not, it happens every day.
The actual act of texting is not dangerous at all. If you're just walking around the mall or something with your friends, texting is fine. It's when you're doing pointless things and texting that it can't hurt you. I don't like how the author of this article makes texting out to be so awful. In (http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/woman-falls-off-cliff-while-texting/?src=Outbrain ) it was talking about a woman falling off of a cliff while she was looking down at her phone. Just looking down at her phone while she was on the cliff is fine, she just lost her footing. It was an accident, accidents happen.
I don't understand why people think that texting is dangerous. Stupid people do stupid things at the wrong time. A lot of those times people have their phone in their hand and are more concerned with what the Facebook world has to say. That doesn't mean that texting can actually hurt somebody though. People need to understand this.
When you're doing something that requires lots of attention and concentration you should not be texting. But texting is not dangerous when you're not driving or doing something stupid like that. I will never understand people who think texting is dangerous. It's not texting, its not paying enough attention to the more important thing.
