Texting and Driving

This is a podcast that talks about how a bus Driver was missing people on his stops because of what else, TEXTING! Not only is this dangerous to do, but people need to go places on the bus and to miss something important because the driver wants to text is just not right. This is done by WUSA 9 a News Channel in Washington. Please be Patient as it may take a minute to load.

Texting vs Talking vs Calling Survey

These are charts of recent surveys I have done at a local High School on people's favorite way to communicate. I just simply asked them, "How do you like to talk to people? Talking, Texting, or Calling?" and I recorded their answer and sex. As you can tell from the graph, people would rather talk face to face than texting and only about 5% of the people I asked would rather call but only 20% would rather text. So this made me wonder. Why do teens text 24/7 when most would rather Talk face to face? Another survey done by MobileBurn Forums shows the overwhelming difference of texters, so I ask those people who text all the time. Why?
