Death by Texting
By: Cheryl Brody

I recently read an article in Comso Girl magazing and it was called 'Death by Texting' and was writen by Cheryl Brody. This articles is about how texting and multitasking do not mix. In the article it says, "doctors from the American College of Emergency Physicians are seeing a rise in injuries and deaths from texting while walking, biking, inline skating, and driving." (Brody 1). I thought this article was interesting becuase almost everyone texts while doing other things and don't even think that they could be putting themselves and others in danger. This article tells a few stories about how texting has hurt people like a 13-year old girl that got first-degree burns on her stomach, legs, and arms while texting her boyfriend as she cooked noddles, and a 16-year old boy that walked into a telephone pole while texting a freind and suffered a concussion. I think the point of this article is to teach everyone to stop texting and multitasking because it is very dangerous and to spread the word to others.
