Times have changed. Modern society demands information at the blink of an eye. Like a double-edged sword technology has provided us with the means of obtaining information faster than we can even process it. Smart phones, the leading tool in telecommunication and information sharing; have taken over the cyber world, and with that, distracted driving has become an epidemic. The thirst for information and instant communication has created a problem so vast, that it has been nearly impossible to combat. Even with laws and legislations, people have found ways to hide their dirty driving habits. In 2008 alone, six thousand people died from texting while driving. We, as a society, need to ban together to stop the unnecessary tragedies caused by texting and driving. The use of the internet as a media source is growing like wildfire, and we can use it as a tool to raise awareness of the dangers of texting and driving. Textkills.com is one of the newest sites with the most up-to-date and inspiring pieces on texting and driving. This site keeps a fresh outlook on the deadly trend, of texting while driving, and promotes ways to stop it. Take a minute and check it out, it could just save your life.
