Effects Of Alvin Tofflers
An American writer and futurist, Alvin Toffler once said, “Our technological powers increase, but the side effects and potential hazards also escalate.” What Toffler is inferring is that in this 21st Century, humans are born into a world full of wonderful gadgets. But behind all these wonderful gadgets lies some pretty scary effects to it. With the knowledge of knowing that there is a high possibility of getting into a car accident; teens nowadays, including adults, use their phones while driving. Since the roads humans drive on everyday are saturated with ignorant use of cellphones, the risk of one's life and the pedestrians life is summiting. Nowadays, humans think that they can multitask, but they are wrong. Quite a lot of deaths and road
accidents each year are ascribed to the use of cellphones while driving. This is why cell phones can be a distraction because it not only increases the chances of a crash, but also the deaths of innocent lives.
Once someone inserts their key into the ignition slot and begins to maneuver the car, they are putting both their own life and other’s lives at jeopardy. A lot can happen if a driver’s eyes are off the road for one second just to send or look at a text message. It distracts one from paying attention to the road and they're more likely to only have one hand on the steering wheel, thus limiting their maneuverability. Let's say a child comes running into the street chasing after a ball, once the driver looks up from his or her phone, it is too late already. This could result in a terrible accident, putting the driver in jail and the child in a hospital. Having an innocent life taken away due to a careless mistake is something people should be worrying about. In addition, texting while driving is a big safety issue that can cause the driver and guiltless bystanders to be killed or injured. To add on, having less distracted drivers would make the streets safer for other drivers and pedestrians; they would not have to fear crossing the street without being run over.
In conclusion, drivers should use caution and give their full attention to the road. No text message is worth the risk of jeopardizing the life of others. Everything can wait when your life and others lives are on the line. So please, think of others before doing something inattentively.
