  3. Modern Social Networking • According to statistics, 1.4 billion people use Facebook which accounts to 11 percent of he world.

  4. Vernacular • Why change such a perfect language? • The average social networking application allows “140” amount of characters per message shrinking the amount of words allowed • Time is valuable • Terry Thaxon a English professor asked "Just the other day, I asked my students to write four lines of dialogue they had over the weekend” (Pacheco).

  5. Social Networking and Language • We do have age limits for websites, but it does not stop people from accessing these sites. • This cultural problem has caused an addictive trait.

  6. Possible Solutions • Why not.. • Prohibit young individuals from accessing social networks? • Put a maximum purchase requirement on cell phones? • BUT! • We can allow more characters per message.

  7. Texting While Driving

  8. History of Texting while Driving • Texting was first used in December 1992. • Short Messaging System (SMS) was a tool to help people with hearing problems. • As technology became more advance, it became used more in people’s lives. • But then, it became a danger to us.

  9. Why is this a problem? • Being distracted while driving can increase the possibility in getting involve in a car accident. • Each day in the United States, more than 9 people are killed and more than 1,060 people are injured in crashes that are reported to involve a distracted driver(CDC). • 31% of U.S. drivers ages 18-64 reported that they had read or sent text messages or email messages while driving at least once within the 30 days before they were surveyed (CDC).

  10. Will this be the peak?? • Texting while driving was determined to much worse than drunk driving. • There were tests done to determine the reaction time between drunk drivers and texting while driving (CNBC).

  11. Not the Best Options • Banning texting while driving. • Educating is not always going to be affective. • A headset or hands-free devices will not help.

  12. My Solution • Enforce a jamming device in all cars to cut the signal of all cell phone devices in the car. • This will eliminate the factor of receiving or sending a text message. • In conclusion, people cannot text while they drive while the device is in the car.

  13. Cell phones and Health Risks

  14. Problem: Over usage of cell phones can increase health risks because of the electromagnetic radiation that cell phones emit.

  15. History • Technology is becoming a significant part of humans lives. • One major popular source of technology is the cell phone. • Cell phones are being excessively utilized. • The over usage of cell phones can cause health risks. • The electromagnetic fields that cell phone radiation emit have caused problems.

  16. Research • An article by Lean McLean talked about six studies that revealed that radiation from cell phones causes health risks.

  17. Potential Solution • Users won’t stop utilizing cell phones. • Radiation from cell phones will not be completed eliminated. • Using hands free options will reduce health risks due to electromagnetic radiation.
