Thousands of people are killed each year in a car accident because the driver is being taken care of too much to pay attention to the road with his mobile phone. Two researchers at the University of West Virginia proposed a radical proposal to reduce death - equipment for cars that can not send text messages, checking your favorite traffic application or driving a car Call home
"In short, a handheld portable device must be inoperable when the car is moving or when the drive shaft lever is in the forward or reverse gear," said American Medical, published on Wednesday I write in the commentary of the Association magazine. "Automobile and mobile device manufacturers have technical competence to implement these protection measures and should be required to do so."
* Experts at Harvard University Risk Analysis Center in Boston calculate that 333,000 people are injured in using mobile phones (12,000 of them are serious) and 2,600 people died each year.
Researchers at North Wales University Health Science Center in Fort Worth estimated that more than 16,000 people died as a result of sending text messages between 2001 and 2007.
* A researcher at the Virginia Institute of Transportation in Blacksburg concluded that driving text messages can increase the risk of "safety critical events" by a factor of 23 compared to driving a mobile phone. One of the points
According to opinion writers Dr. Jeffrey Coben and Motao Zhu, passing legislation is not enough to solve this problem. The Association of Road Safety Insurance said that 10 states and the District of Columbia prohibited the use of mobile phones while driving, 39 states and the District of Columbia have made illegal texts in driving. However, in the survey, 40% of the drivers still allowed to talk on the phone while driving, while 13% of the drivers allowed text messages.
"Individuals are using their mobile phones almost all day, regardless of business or entertainment, so I'd like to continue using this technology while driving, if possible," Coben and Zhu said I will. Therefore, they say that you need to keep this technology useless.
Coben and Zhu wrote that this leaves room for a hands-free system and can dial voice and translate text messages into computer voice.
At the same time, "the federal government needs to set strict new safety standards that require all handheld devices to be inoperable while the car is in motion", summarizes the two conclusions. "If you take such actions, thousands of people die each year, causing this preventable public safety problem.In this era of smart phones and smart cars, they separate them from one another The time has come. "
"Today's high-frequency cordless phones can radiate electromagnetic waves just like mobile phones. For health and privacy reasons, more and more scientists and other experts dismiss mobile phones Power and high frequency (short wavelength) The first generation cordless telephone operates at about 60 MHz, the next generation cordless phone operates at 900 MHz (835 MHz or more), the new 2.4 GHz runs a further high, running a distance of several kilometers It will not disappear.

Mobile phones are always indispensable to our lives today. Regardless of distance, it helps us communicate faster and better with our associates. For many people, life without mobile phones can challenge communication with others. However, a surprising discovery of experts indicates that several terminal illnesses may be obtained through the use of high mobile phones, and may cause many contamination. - ... The author of this article believes this is very bad. Even though these higher standards are not enough, I think it is a good thing to allow companies' farms to reach higher medical standards. This reminds me why I agree with the authors' claim that organic certification is not a good thing. In a sense, the minimum care level for organic agriculture is not enough, it is not good. Organic agriculture is now a stable trend and should be increased to include more humanitarian practices.
