Katrina's blog

Technology: Cellphone Law Past On All Military Bases.: "Sgt. Sara Wood. 2006, January 6th. DoD to Restrict Cellphone Use On Military Bases. American Forces Press Service. Retrieved 2011, April 7th..." This is very good and accurate information you wrote about except the fact is, even though its a law, no ones listening to it. I still see people everyday texting and driving and swirving off the road. It does look like their drunk driving. At night when i see someone swirving i always assue their drunk then go next to them and see a light. It's horrible how many teens arent listening.

Technology getting out of control

This video shows how much technology is taking over kids lives. Texting is taking over and it’s becoming more dangerous. Alot of teens are now texting while driving and its causing more deaths than ever. When there was no such thing as texting, there were only a lot of car accidents with drunk driving but now with both in the equation more and more deaths are happening. There’s even laws being put down for no texting and driving. Texting has got out of hand.
