Multi-Genre Topic: Texting and Driving


Lately I've been seeing lots of things on texting and driving on commercials and it sparked up a lot of things in my mind. As the years have gone by the statistics have become higher with accidents involving texting and driving and it scares me. I personally hate texting and driving because my brother almost passed away from the exact thing. I couldn’t imagine living without my brother and to think a simple phone risked his life is unbelievable.

It's crazy how dependent our generation has become on electronic devices. Often I hear people saying they "can't live without their phones", which 10 years away this definitely wouldn't be the case. The fact that people can't drive without using their phone is alarming and the statistics prove it. That is why I have decided this is the topic I want to do my research and multi-genre topic on. Having a firsthand experience with it helps make it just become more real.

I’m hoping that doing this topic will help people, mainly teens, realize that this isn’t the way people should be dying or even a reason to have car crashes. Technology has almost completely taken over our society and I want to ake people aware.
