  1. Mobile Phones How They Can Be Dangerous

  2. Text Messaging Tragedy

  3. Statistics • Cell phone distraction causes 2,600 deaths and 330,000 injuries in the United States every year, according the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society.The estimates of annual deaths reported in this week's article (2,600) may well be low. The number, for U.S. deaths related to drivers using cell phones, comes from a 2002 study by the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis (HCRA). Researchers then estimated that the use of cell phones by drivers caused approximately 2,600 deaths. • Because data on cell phone use by motorists are limited, the range of uncertainty is wide, those researchers said. The estimate of fatalities in that HCRA report ranged between 800 and 8,000.

  4. Use Blue Tooth • Because of all of the tragedies due to cell phone use in cars, we now have what is called a blue tooth headset that allows you to talk on the phone hands free. This is a very good device and should be used by everyone! The End!!
