Smartphoneone has become an integral part of our lives in recent years, and watching the screen has become an iron habit. After all, we need to check the latest news, likes on Facebookon Instagram, current tweets, take a selfie... However, when we pay more attention to our phone than to our surroundings, it may not end well. This is what contemporary media is trying to draw attention to in the #ItCanWait campaign.
The video, which captures the situation when the constant staring at the display did not pay off for phone owners, may seem rather funny at first. However, with the last shot, you will realize that one should not pay too much attention to the mobile phone when going somewhere. And certainly not when he's driving. A single write-down on a text pad, perhaps even a single look at the display can have unfathomable consequences.
According to statistics from the National Safety Council, 28% of all traffic accidents in the US involved using a phone while driving – mostly texting. Smartphones have now joined alcohol and speeding as the leading causes of fatal car accidents.oneAccording to statistics, young drivers are particularly careless. The most common applications used behind the wheel include WhatsApp.
Experts say that multitasking in humans is a myth – and this is doubly true behind the wheel. Our brain can jump from one task to another, but it cannot manage multiple tasks at once, especially when each task requires 33% of our attention. If we are on the phone, our attention in the area of movement decreases by more than XNUMX%. So the campaign hashtag #ItCanWait is more than apt - while we're driving, the phone can wait.
