On Wednesday March 5th , the Drudge Report published a blog about the danger of Texting while Walking . The blogger Neal Augenstein explains the danger of texting while walking. According to Neal the danger of texting and walking is more dangerous than careless driving.
When a person walks and text their brain can't process both function at the same time. Thus causing people to trip , or even worse distract's them from their surrounding. This World is already dangerous enough. There are thousands ways to die everyday in this world. And texting while walking is definitely one of them.
Based on a study done by Ohio State University the count for pedestrian injury is off the chart. The injury count has gone up three times since the last Decade.Its a real issue more than 41000 people are being treated every year in the emergency room.
Through this research and report we can be sure this accidents are caused mainly by people under 30. Mostly 16-25 yr old teen/young adult are responsible for this matter. And this article is mainly focuses on this specific age group.
I totally agree with this report , only because this age group is sensible to technology . Always have to have it 24/7. And because of that nature accident happen to those who fails to give much needed attention to the road. The author showed some really important points , with statistics and with survey data. Making his argument more solid to the reader.If i had to rate him I would give him a solid 10. He does make his post more educational , with important eye opening facts. So overall he did a great job getting his message across to his audience.
