COMM 344 - Week 1 Blog

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with this "new to me" blogging. I'm sure I'll mess up along the way so please be patient with my ignorance. Everytime I hit a button I get something I don't know how to deal with, and can't get where I really want to be. If anyone can share hints or step by step how tos - this OTA would appreciate it. OK - so now you're laughing at my ignorance - that's OK. I'm here to learn from all of you . I haven't figured out how to add links in my blog - any directions on that would be great!

I read the news article about the proposed law against texting while driving. I have done it myself once or twice. I've been with my 20 year old when she's doing it. It is not safe! I've seen her drift into another lane on the interstate going 75+ mph. All the "what ifs" run through my mind and I'm not ready to loose a family member, or have to watch them live with hurting or killing someone else. When we are on the road, we are not only responsible for our lives, but the lives of everyone else on the road. I'm all for making sure I am safe - as well as those around me. If you can drift on the interstate, you can drift on any road. The chances for accidents is so great! Who wants to be responsible for killing someone! Not me. I support a ban on texting while driving.

    I agree that texting while driving is an unnecessary risk. Our generation has become obsessed with staying connected and multi-tasking whenever possible. If a text is that important either have someone else in the car execute it or pull over and do it then. Talking on the phone while driving isn't as bad in my opinion, as long as it's just talking. When texting, you're forced to read what you're saying which majorly distracts from driving. When just talking, you can still at least see what's going on.
