American College of Emergency Physicians issued a media release, concerned at not just the bruised coming into hospital emergency rooms, but the fatalities when this key decision-making part of the brain failed.

“Don’t text while you’re engaged in physical activities that require sustained attention, such as biking, inline skating and playing sports,” the college warned.

“Never text when driving or motorcycling, and use caution even when using headsets. Texting can divert you from ensuring your own safety.”

In a world where people exercise their ratio communis – roughly translated as commonsense – these statements of the bleeding obvious are not required.

In brief , If you text a lot then you are not applying your common sense to other things you are doing !
