    I suggest that policy makers address the concerns of the game and that Pokemon Go is a augmented reality game. Players should understand the fact that this game is merely for entertainment and not a life long commitment. If not, I suggest that this game be demolished as a whole. The world would obviously be upset but to maintain the sanity of this world, I hope that the absence of this game would be the best for everyone. Students would be back on track with their studies, there would less cases of accidents that happen and people would probably regain the responsibility they had lost when Pokemon Go was…

    Unfortunately, distraction and fun are two of the worst things that drivers and passengers alike should be striving for when on the road. Recklessness and the associated intensified cellphone use from social media are two reasons why social media induced distracted driving is becoming an ever increasing issue on American roadways. Unlike a select few texts and calls, there is never an excuse to need to use social media while driving. While there are many states that have legislation against the use of cellphones and social media while driving, they are hard to enforce as phones are easy to conceal. Therefore, the only way American roadways can recover from the prevalence of accidents and hazardous behavior caused by social media is drivers learning about the danger that they pose to themselves and the community, and deciding that they can wait until they…
