Addiction to Technology? Lawyers? Me? Noooooo.

Posted in Life ::: July 22, 2009 8:49 AM

This ground breaking article says that talking/texting/twittering/e-mailing on your cell phone while driving may be dangerous.  http://www.abajournal.com/news/can_you_drive_and_talk_on_your_cell_phone_not_very_well_studies_say  Really?  I don't mean to make light and yes, I'm guilty.  I talk, I text, I check e-mail - all while driving.  Horrible, I know.  I'd like to say that I try to keep it to a minimum and that I'm safe about it but I'm sure there are times when I'm not.  I don't know about an addiction to the "intensity" as this guy suggests.  To me, it's about mazimizing time and multi-tasking and putting down time to good use.  I do try to use the hands free device (when I remember) and to keep the calls short.  What's the answer?  Beats me.  In today's world, people and clients are spoiled.  They want instant access and instant responses.  Gone are the days of waiting two days for the letter to arrive to get your answer.  They want it now.  To compete, you have to deliver.  So, will I change my multi-tasking ways?  Not a chance.  But I will continue to try to be safe about it.  You should too.
