The topic that interests me more is the effect on the general population of addictive apps so if you're going to one-track this onto your pet peeve I'm gonna peace out; it's pretty obvious that using the phone while driving is a bad idea, there's just not a lot left to say on the topic, it's all been said... more interested in discussing a new and vibrant topic than something that's been literally done to death, I mean, people were probably ranting about cellphone drivers on usenet in 1995...



I don’t think smartphones are your problem.


I don't have a problem, I'm just unsure as to why that conversation went the way it did; we're talking about addictive apps and all of a sudden the topic is phone use while driving? Okay I guess but... what conversation are we really having here and why? Odd.


I mean I just expressed agreement with a sentiment that you posed, you brought up texting and driving? What a weird person.


> To some it might be obvious that being glued to a tiny screen to the point that you need to constantly look at it while you're driving is a problem

These are your words. You raised the topic of driving in response to my comment which didn't mention driving.
