I agree with your argument, specifically when it comes to driving. The resource model of attention suggests that people have a restricted capacity for paying attention. Selective attention has been studied by using dichotic arrangements (simultaneous stimulation of both ears with different sounds or messages). In such studies, participants are instructed to focus on the information from a particular hear (attended channel), and has ignored input from the other ear (unattended channel). Results…

When conducting an experiment to test the hypothesis on whether talking on a cell phone impair ones driving abilities, there are various areas of discussion to consider. Why is a control condition important in testing this hypothesis, how should subjects be assigned to conditions, and how can the researchers design the experiment so that the only difference between both conditions is the use of a cell phone? A controlled condition is anything that can affect the data collected from an…

Parents, Drivers, Texters… Everyone is warned about texting while driving. Cell phones help people stay in close contact with loved ones, but cell phones can be disastrous. Yet there are still thousands of deaths caused by texting while driving every year. Although people see the destruction that texting while driving can cause, they continue to do it. Several studies show that texting while driving is worse than being legally drunk and driving. Laws should be made and enforced against texting…

As drivers, we face many instances of danger while behind the wheel: colliding with other drivers or even crashing in to pedestrians if a driver is not careful. The distraction of a driver only heightens said dangers and can be controlled. While some may argue that using a handheld cell phone while driving should be legal, they are wrong because without a law in place prohibiting this action, this will hinder drivers socially, economically, and politically. First, using our phones while…

Cell phones cause 26% of the nation’s car attacks increase of last years. National safety councils are found 25% using cell phones behind the while.You have to have your…

When it comes to the topic of public health and freedom, most of us will readily agree that freedom affects our health. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of how much freedom we should have. Whereas some are convinced that our freedom should be limited when it comes to health of other people, others maintain that freedom shouldn’t be limited when it comes to health. Although the freedom restrictions won’t please everyone, having restrictions on our public freedom is…

Wifi is used all over the world. Every wonder how it was made? Hedy Lamar created frequency hopping in the 1940s which lead to wifi. She created the frequency hopping technique for the navy, but when she explained it to them they said it would never work. So Hedy Lamar gave her patent to the Navy and never earned a penny off her invention. She died at the age of eighty six and did not get much credit for her idea. Now, wifi is used everyday by millions of people. Hedy Lamar made a huge impact in…

The number of mobile phone users in the world is expected to pass the five billion mark by 2019. In 2014, nearly 60 percent of the population worldwide already owned a mobile phone. The invention of the cell phone is estimated to continue growing, rounding up to 67 percent by 2019. Motorola was the first company to produce a handheld mobile phone. In 1973, Dr. Martin Cooper invented the first personal handheld telephone while working for Motorola. In 2000, the first Symbian phone, the…

Every day, millions of Americans hop in their cars and hit the road. Every day those same millions of American drivers choose to drive distracted. These distractions range from eating a snack, drinking a soda, and even applying make-up. It is common knowledge that the consumption of alcohol is one of the biggest “no-no’s” in todays world. Despite that, it is worth noting that as our technology advances, so does the danger we present as drivers when using our cell phones. Due to my experience as…
