Re: Mechatronics-Texting and walking made illegal

the communication rather than necessity it to become a vice, no import the situation, no import the place, allways we are want in communication with friends and family, but we should know what is the appropried place for to send a texting, we shouldn´t do walking because it is social responsibility, is like taking a dog to the park and pick up its faeces. we can cause accidents to others, equally, to ourselves.
for this reason we may be fined and so the accidents and thefts will reduce markedly.
if we avoid texting while walking, we will do a better society

completely agree with you
PD: we are selective in the palces to texting

hello
I very much like what you want to plant as many people walk the streets, intersect, ie go from one side to another, talking on messages without any precaution, or seeing what might happen.

today it is being seen in a more advanced as technology has evolved and are more things which are seen, and this is added a number of people who come to the same, without seeing the consequences or accidents can pass, this being one of the causes of danger in the streets, or anywhere, because I do not see where they walk and may even crash.

so I think the best way for us all as people realize that we must be more aware and be wary of the causes that can happen, and as if we did not do this all the avoid. although one can not doubt that talking on messages is a medium that serves as entertainment, but all that we as human beings we must be more aware and do our part to avoid any accident occurs. since all that is happening is in large size for us. why we have to put a grain of sand so that more accidents have not this.
thanks ....

Comic

Sheyla Barraza | 15.07.2012

Cartoon or comic is called a 'series
of drawings that make up a story
"," with or without words ", and
the media as a whole. Based on
Will Eisner's conception of the
graphic narrative as a sequential
art, Scott McCloud comes to the
following definition: "Illustrations
and other images juxtaposed in
deliberate sequence intended to
convey information or to obtain a
reader's aesthetic response."
However, not all theorists agree
with this definition, the most
popular today as it allows the
inclusion of the comic book and,
instead, ignores the so-called
humor. The interest in the comic
"can have very different
motivations, from the aesthetic
interest to the sociological
opportunism of nostalgia."

my opion about texting and walking

octavio lopez estrada | 13.07.2012

hi everybody !!
ok, my opinion about this topic is that many people do it.. in the street you can see people texting and walking in the same time.. the tecnology is great! and more when we talk about the cellphones, ok, everybody know it but this is a big problem, i'm one of those people and i accept it. the real problem is that we know it and we don't do anything for avoid it.
i'm on favor of establish fines for this problem.
we must be aware of what we can produce if we don't understand the problem. every day we hear in the news accidents and accidents. we are the only responsibles about it.
we must learn to respect the rules of our country, is for our well, is for the well of everybody. stop the irresponsibility is our compromise.
thank you.

These rules seem strange but they are as significant as others because they protect our lives.



Firstly, It is a daily situation, so the authorities was extremely concerned by people’s distraction when they use your cellphones while they are crossing a street then they decided to create this law to preserve the people’s lives and to guarantee the safety of everybody, it is something suitable because we will open-eyed all the time to don’t cause deaths and accidents on the streets.



Secondly, I think “necessity creates the organ”, and if people don’t realize then they should punish, and so everyone should implement this rule in all world. The fine must be accompanied by a few lessons of civility to learn and never forget.



Finally, we as pedestrians, we must think about don’t isolate us the circumstances that surround us just for send messages and connect us with reality, this could cost us our lives and those of others who are innocent in some cases.



“The greatest things are caused by little things” Often some misfortunes are the consequence of small causes.

Bye.

The law is strange, but it can save many lives.
people are badly distracted with a phone movilen his hands the situation is worse.

When you receive a text message, it is best to find a safe place to read

Rosie thinks it's a lot of money in fines, but life comes first than money

my opinion

paola guerrero arias | 12.07.2012

My opinion is that this new law is fundamental since as pedestrians and drivers not us concientizamos brings over of the hurt that we can cause on having sent messages of texts already be driving or walking. Though in Colombia it it is not, since citizens we have to concientizarnos to be able to avoid major incidents.

It is a curious case because I personally bothers me see or talk to someone and are chatting is like a lack of respect and when I do, which is almost every day I say I hope and fall.
is stressful, so do not want a blackberry or any apparatus of the foregoing types JAJAJA.

So I think it would be a good method would avoid so many accidents sometimes happen not only for people who are walking, but also irresponsible drivers that are driving and talking on the pin at the same time, and also would avoid the lack of respect for other people.

hopefully here in Colombia applied the standard.

My opinion on The Texting and Walking Made Illegal

Rafael Vergara | 12.07.2012

My opinion about the issue is as follows:

This is an issue but for many is insignificant, it may cost the lives of many people by concentration on a cell phone, lost concentration in the most important thing is the preservation of life.

This good you think these laws and above all you must create campaigns with children, do not forget who are the future and we should care.

I think it's a very funny and interesting text. It is about a new law that exist in the USA that bans texting and walking on the street to avoid accidents. it's interesting because it's something that we do everyday as a normal activity without notice what dangerous it could be. It´s funny for the examples in some cases as the man texting who didn't notice the big bear on the street or the woman who fell into a fountain in a shopping mall.
