Title- Cell Phones and Texting While Driving: Multitasking Ourselves to Death

Authors- Judy Honoria Rosaire Telemaque, Chizoba “Dr. Zee” Madueke

Journal- SAGE journals

DOI- 10.1177/2158244015595089

Summary- this article was about the consequences of cell phone usage while operating a vehicle.

A study was conducted in Connecticut. The study included interviews with a total of 20 police

officers, driving instructors, and parents of teens and young adults. The ages of the subjects

ranged from 25 to 65 years. They were all asked the same questions. For example, “how do you

think the inventors and makers of cellular phone technology can help reduce and/or avoid the

problem?” They concluded that educating drivers will be beneficial to society. They believe that

driver education and parental involvement can help reduce the negative effects of young adults

trying to multitask with technology and driving.

The issue this covers is social issues: fears about technology misuses.

A solution to this problem is driver education and police cracking down on fines.

careers for female students, enhance recruitment, promoting a gender sensitive change and safe

working conditions.

little.

Summary- This article was about ways to prevent computer hacking. With the rise of computer

hacking, the state of Florida established a new law for civil violations due to computer abuse.

This is a danger, because computers could have a lot of personal information on them that could

be dangerous if it got in the wrong hands. It could cause damage to the computer or the actual

person. Some examples of how to protect personal information is to not save it in your computer

or having a secured wifi password.

This issue covers legal and ethical issues: hacking

A solution to this problem is having a firewall to promote anti-theft.
