In addition, the probabilities of driver texting on the cell phone and getting into accidents are only getting higher. Cell phone use while driving accounts for major cause of accidents and serious crashes. It does not matter how well one drives, if another driver is not being as careful, especially when using a phone, a split second one are put in danger by their own actions. However, the result of that leads to many deaths and produces numbers of hazards. The use of a cell phone while driving is very hazardous.
Our decision is to implement a no texting/talking while driving policy effective immediately. According to the concept of social responsiveness, we will be enacting a proactive strategy. This strategy is us trying to prevent an accident from ever occurring (Williams, p. 75). The safety of our sales representatives is critical to the success of the company as we drive all over the region to deliver product and generate new business. According to www.nationwide.com/newsroom/dwd-facts-figures.jsp, drivers that use cell phones are four times as likely to get into crashes serious enough to injure themselves (NHTSA, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety).
The statistics continue to rise, but if we would take time to think about the lives being put in danger, perhaps we wouldn’t allow ourselves to be so heavily distracted. It only takes seconds for something terrible to happen, and every day I discover how dangerous drivers’ habits are-problems we see that exist every day. A dangerous driving habit that has recently increased is the use of cell phones while driving. Imagine a person using a cell phone while driving (one hand on the steering wheel and the other grabbing the phone near his ear), talking about last night’s party or about the baseball season that has just started. During this period of time, the driver’s attention is focused in the conversation.
There are many ways to be distracted while driving; the most common distraction is cell phone use. Cell phone use is the most dangerous distraction because it involves all three of the different types of distractions. That being said, physically looking down at your phone will create even more danger to those around you. Things like eating, smoking, and talking to the passenger can be considered distractive driving. Death is a common fear that most humans have.
It could be you or your loved one in that small fraction. Also just because someone’s life wasn’t taken from texting and driving doesn’t mean it hasn’t affected their life in some way or another. For example, most of these collisions that don’t end in death either in my brain injury, paralyzation and so on. Texting is one of the most dangerous things you can do on the road. I can almost guarantee you that without awareness of this issue these numbers will continue to rise.

Now as most mobile manufacturers have somewhat settled in how much market share they currently have or predicting, they will shun new competitors into the market. Now in Microsoft’s place, it has dominated the PC market for a long time and still continues to do so. And when Microsoft attempts to enter the Mobile market, competing manufacturers will stall and delay the deployment of Microsoft’s operating system into mobile phones. Manufacturers know that Microsoft is a big threat because if customers prefer using the Microsoft operating system compared to their current one, then they will start losing customers wanting to buy their latest phones. Every manufacturer in the market have their own operating system, now if Microsoft’s operating system becomes the standard in the next generation firms, then manufacturers are worried they will simply become assembly companies.
