Texting

       I think texting has made the way we communicate much easier; it’s an easy and convenient way to keep in touch with others. You can easily communicate with someone without having to make a call, especially when you are in school or at work, texting makes it simple. But, in the other hand it can also be a dangerous habit… how many times have you seen people talking or texting while driving?? Sometimes we don’t realize the risks we are taking by doing this, but it can be as dangerous as driving under the influence. We can easily get distracted when sending a text, those few seconds we take our eyes off the road can lead to an accident. I used to do this a lot, I would always be texting while driving…. there was a few times where I could have crashed just for a simple text. I even got a ticket once for talking on the phone while driving. Texting is a great tool, it’s definitely a great way of communication, but we just need to be responsible and make good use of it.

  2. I feel the same way when it comes to texting and driving. I'm from an older generation so I'm not a big fan of it. I worry about my daughter alot, who is extremely fast at texting. I think anyone who text while driving is taking a risk

  4. Texting is very convenient, but like you said it can also be dangerous. A lot of car accidents happen because of people texting while driving.

  5. The ticket for texting while driving should be like 2,000 dollars maybe that way people will stop texting and driving....
