I'm riding shotgun as we travel down I-70 in western Kansas at 80mph. I've sent a dozen work related texts since 6am, and just used the phone as a hotspot to send a pile of CAD drawings to contractors I have working today. Now I'm using the hotspot to BS with you guys about using my phone while in motion.
While we're at it, we could also ban all guns, they kill a few people and its the guns fault not the guy holding the gun right?

I can't believe how much viral and front page news attention that selfie gathering has garnered. I'm seeing it everywhere.

The amount of people who text while driving is at epidemic levels from what I see on a daily basis.
If technology can be devised to make it impossible to text while driving, it would be fine with me. People got by 15 years ago without being able to text every move they made.

Me, I can't text and drive. Or chew gum and walk too well. But I refuse to front for a new computer, laptop, iPad, notebook, whatever. This iPhone that was purchased for me by the other half is all the technology I want or need. Any additional cash spent on such follies is less cash for guns, knives, hooch, and all the other more important things in life.
But as for driving. This phone thingy gets stowed away. Hell I can't read anything without my glasses ( which btw are not needed for driving).
Besides I absolutely hate talking on the phone. Hate it!!! Would rather have teeth pulled that talk on the damn phone

Last Friday 3 of us were horseback looking for strays in a pasture that is roughly 10k acres. It was hotter than chit and was basically not a fun day at all, especially for the horses.
Luckily there are a couple cell towers on the ranch and if you get in an open spot you generally get a signal.
Long story short the fricken cell phones save the day, or least saved a whole bunch of extra riding.
I love them for work but haven't got the phone recreating affliction yet.
Couple of my older friends still don't have phones and I honestly don't blame them.
And if we had smart phones back in high school I probably would have been one of the tards that ended up crashing.
