Texting Can Kill

As harmless as you think it might be sending a text message saying that you’ll be late for dinner, hello, etc has some real scary ramifications. There is significant evidence showing that texting can kill. No, we’re not talking about some elaborate scheme out of a mission impossible movie.

We’re talking about normal people in everyday situations that are directly affected by SMS. This issue may be further exacerbated by the rising number of unlimited texting plans.

As a result many people have smartly decided to invest in a head set or hands free device most commonly called blue tooth. This allows driver to not only keep their eyes on the road while recieving and making calls but you avoid breaking the law and getting fined. The best situation refrains you from talking on your cell phone but these devices greatly reduce the potential for accidents and falling under the next headline of how texting can kill.

Legal ramifications – there are also several laws on talking on cell phones while driving. Many of these laws concern handheld mobile phones, so they not only encompass regular voice calls, but also text messaging, mobile web surfing, and mobile e-mail. Most state laws allow for hands-free mobile phones via bluetooth etc . Its not a big deal to send for a passenger to send text messages but under no circumstance shoudl the driver be sending text messages and if caught you you are subject to fines and penalties.

Texting can kill statistics – Livescience.com found a new study published by the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. In this study, they discovered that 2,600 deaths and 330,000 injuries are caused by cell phone distration in the United States every year. These figures are probably on the conservative side, as mobile phone usage is continue to increase and, as such, it’s reasonable to assume that the rate of texting while driving may have also increased. Based on these statistics, five people die in the United States every day from cell phone distraction.

As you can imagine, taking one or both hands off the wheel to type out a text message can further exacerbate these problems. Texting can kill, so just

don’t do it while driving.

Information Technology is expanding ‘leap and bounds’. Mobile phone is an important segment of the Information Technology that is extensively being used to transfer data from phone to phone and phone to computer or laptop. Sending a text is a common and second use of the mobile phone besides speaking. The interesting part of mobile phone is that it is easy and light in weight compare to other such available sources. There were telephones of 2-5 Kgs that were used only for talking and also computer or even a laptop can not substitute a mobile phone in the sense, mobile phone is very easy and accessible to the wireless internet or the WAP. The developers have a great expectation from mobile phones with an access to WAP in field of SMS and email.

Text messages need not to be alarmed as they have no other route to follow or getting miss on the way to destination. Although text messages are being alarmed to create an attention or priority as these messages have. For majority of people text messaging is new and latest improvement in mobile phones but it has taken a notable lead in short time period. However, text messaging is as an old age concept of sending data.

Text messaging is an easy process; the protocol of sending text message is like a dialing and speaking by a mobile phone. If one has little knowledge of mobile phone keys he can create the text and after creating a text it is matter to follow protocol asked at mobile phone screen. The creation of a text has gone faster by using abbreviation or SMS form like writing ‘U’ instead you. Text messaging can be learned without a great deal of wasting time, knowledge and experience.

Almost all mobile phone users with high frequency are using the facility of text message so mobile phone service providers are reducing the text transfer tariffs.

Engaging attendees is a vital part of a meeting’s success, so of course we were intrigued when we learned of a new interactive service that allows you to quickly and easily communicate with your attendees using two-way text messaging. You can send reminder messages, such as “Registration begins at 6:00 pm” or you can ask questions, such as “Will you be attending the dinner event this evening? 1. Yes 2. No.” Then the attendee replies with their answer.

One company, MobileFeedback.com, offers this service via a simple webpage. You create a users list that contains just a handful or thousands of cell phone numbers. You can then enter in the questions or messages that you would like to send. Click the ‘submit’ button and the message will be delivered to all of the cell phones on your list anywhere in the world! Once the message is received, and the attendee responds, the results are shown as a graph on the webpage. The service is not only easy to use and cool, but also affordable. You can send 10 messages to 100 people for about $25.
