Mobile Applications

Over the past few years, there has been an explosion of applications, particularly in mobile. Everything from instant stock quotes, to weather forecasts and GPS navigation are now available with a touch of your finger on your cell phone. Surgeons can scroll through years of patient history in minutes. Smart meters bring instant feedback to consumers, reducing energy waste and saving money, without any sacrifice to lifestyle. You can also waste plenty of time on gaming applications of just fill your time while you are standing in line. Hopefully you do not open any applications while driving, save for the GPS, or even while at a red light. It is amazing just how many people still text and drive even after several states have passed laws against it. One of the challenges being that it is hard to enforce. Even talking on the phone or using phone services that are connected to your car can be a major distraction. I can say that I am guilty of talking on my phone while driving as well but I have made a real effort to put driving a priority and set a great example for the kids for when they finally get their license. Yes, that day is very much dreaded.
