I have this friend who is always looking at his iPhone. We go to
lunch, and he'll look at his texts and Facebook posts right
while I'm talking to him. We'll be taking a walk, and he'll pull
out his phone and glance at it mid-conversation.  I'd like to
think that I'm a fairly charming and interesting guy, so I think
the problem is his, not mine. I've chastised him dozens of times
for his rude behavior. Then a couple of weeks ago, I REALLY got
mad at him.  I was driving home from work and noticed him behind
me in his car, face buried in his phone while he drove. Later, I
told him he was going to kill someone else before I had a chance
to kill HIM for his stupidity.  The fact is, everyone has a
friend like mine. Or perhaps, you are texing or posting online
while driving and don't even know it. Every time I'm in my car,
I'll notice at least two or three drivers texting on the road.
It's become a serious epidemic.  More than 100,000 road
accidents a year involving texting, according to the National
Safety Council.
