Smartphones

Like most people I have become attached to my smart phone, a Samsung Blackjack II. I got it as a birthday present from my parents this past March. I always have it on me and I'm usually texting someone or utilizing its Internet browsing capabilities to read the latest sports news or some other article that just can't seem to wait until I get on a regular computer. The sad thing is when you see people walking on the street with their eyes and fingers glued to the device. I know I am guilty of that as well but at least I can text without looking at the keypad so i can see where I am going. Over the summer I was working in Manhattan and it was a regular occurrence to see someone almost get hit by a car or walk into a pole because they were busy working or doing whatever just couldn't wait.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trading my smart phone in any time soon. All I'm saying is that some people just can't be without it. I've even heard people admit to texting while driving; now that is a scary thought.
