Abstract
This is a speech about how cell phones are dangerous when driving. The paper relates that possible deaths and injuries from such a scenario makes a parent shake, yet many situations like this happen every day because people choose to use their cell phones without any thought of the possible risks to others. The paper argues that laws should be passed to stop people from using cell phones when driving.

From the Paper
"According to the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, "Cell phone distraction causes 2,600 deaths and 330,000 injuries in the United States every year" (Britt). Imagine a car heading toward a school bus while the driver is talking on the cell phone without seeing the red light or the school bus. The possible deaths and injuries from such a scenario makes a parent shake, yet many situations like this happen every day because people choose to use their cell phones without any thought of the possible risks to others. Laws should be passed to stop people from using cell phones when driving."

Abstract
This paper presents an examination of developing policy for the use of cell phones in school settings. The author's viewpoint is toward stopping cell phone use in the instructional setting yet not unduly restricting student access to communication.

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the challenge of creating a learning environment in secondary schools where there is widespread and improvident use of cellular phones on the part of students at inappropriate times despite regulations against such usage. The plan of the research will be to set forth an explanation of the conditions in which the challenge has arisen and then to discuss a general strategy that administrative school authorities could use to implement the need to suppress phone use as per prevailing school policy.

Abstract
The paper discusses how it is hard to imagine life today without computers, the Internet and cell phones, at least in this part of the world.

From the Paper
"What has had a bigger impact on our society: cell phones or the Internet? It is hard to imagine life today without computers, the Internet and cell phones, at least in this part of the world. In the developed world certainly cell phones, computers and the Internet have significantly changed the way we communicate, work and play. This paper will examine whether it is the Internet or cell phones that have impacted, both in a positive and a negative way, our society more. The paper will argue that it is the Internet that has had an overall greater impact, although the cell phone has also brought significant changes to the way we live. Both the cell phone and the Internet have had a great impact on the way we..."

Abstract
The paper considers the technology, use and recommendations of cell phones and PDAs in organizations.

From the Paper
"During the twentieth century there was a significant shift in the way that the majority of Americans-and indeed people around the developed world-made their livings. The industrial revolution brought with it a departure from agrarian-based economies where individuals worked for their own food and made their own consumables to a manufacturing based economy where increasing numbers of individuals began working for companies. This shift in the labor force gave rise to specialists from skilled technicians to professional managers who formed large organizations..."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the topic of cell phone use while driving. Specifically, the paper looks at the increased use of cell phones in the United States and the dangers of driving while talking on a cell phone. The writer believes that talking on a cell phone while driving is dangerous. The paper makes reference to studies which show that it is just as dangerous as drunk driving and talking on a cell phone while driving should be banned nationally.

From the Paper
"Driving while talking on a cell phone has become quite controversial as more Americans use cell phones every day. Using cell phones in public can be annoying and downright rude, but driving while talking on a cell phone can be deadly. One analyst noted, "Driving and talking on a cell phone is like drinking and driving. In both cases, the driver's reaction time is slowed, especially in the event of a roadway mishap requiring urgent response. In addition, a driver likely cannot give the same level of attention to driving as when not using a cell phone" (Egan). Driver inattention is one of the main causes of accidents on the road today."

Abstract
This paper examines the impact of the cell phone on modern day society. The paper explains that with the increase in usage of mobile phones, comes new problems and the need for rules and regulations. The paper points out that when used properly, cell phones can connect people with business, important information, and other people, but when used too often, cell phones can cause us harm and work to weaken our socialization skills.

From the Paper
"Cell phones are becoming increasingly popular to people all over the world. "With the cell phone's debut in 1984, 92,000 early adapters raced to own one. Twenty years later, it is now estimated that more than 171 million Americans use a cell phone" (Sellman 60). When cell phones were first introduced, they were bulky, expensive, and had a limited operating life and range. But now cell phone reception, battery life, operating locations, and various options have improved. Cell phones are not as bulky anymore. In fact, some are downright tiny and incredibly light. Cell phones are being incorporated with everything today. Automotive makers are finding ways to have built-in cell phone holders and charging stations. Cell phone producers are trying to find more and more ways to pack music, video, pictures, internet, and business software into the cell phone."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"As with other aspects of modern technology, cell phones may also contribute negatively to society and to individuals who use them extensively. Despite recent news of research to the contrary, many still worry about the long term medical consequences of long-term heavy cell phone use. Cell phone use has also been strongly implicated in causing vehicular accidents, prompting state legislation banning cell phone use while driving."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although some people feel that using a cell phone does not present a greater distraction than talking with a passenger, tuning the radio, applying make-up, eating, or performing other tasks common while driving, studies have proven that, while tasks such as these do cause accidents, cell phones are still more dangerous. The author points out that ninety percent of European countries have cell phone driving bans, each with a different type of restriction. For example, in the United Kingdom, a driver can use a cell phone, but in the event of an accident while using a cell phone, the driver may be fined. The paper concludes that hands-free kits provide a highly accessible and practical alternative to traditional cell phone use, so drivers no longer can be excused for talking on a cell phone; however, pulling over to use the phone is still the smartest idea.

From the Paper
"A number of recent studies prove the hazards of driving while on a cellular phone. The University of Utah concluded that drivers on cell phones are more likely to not remember seeing pedestrians, billboards, or other objects found on the roadside. A study led by the National Safety Council in 2001 indicated that cell phone users miss traffic signals twice as often as those not using phones while driving. Those that did not miss traffic signals often took longer to react. Progressive Insurance reported that forty-six percent of 837 drivers surveyed swerved into others lanes, twenty-three percent drove too close to the car in front of them, eighteen percent came very close to an accident, and ten percent ran a red light. Ford has shown that teenage drivers are four times more distracted than middle-aged adults using cell phones."
