In the introduction and chapter one of Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, Daniel H. Pink expressed how behavioral science can change the common understanding of people’s driving force and suggests a more helpful way to better performance.

Our body-language skills continue to erode in an age of remote interaction, where people are accustomed to documenting and narrating their lives for “on-line friends, many of whom we’ve never met” (414). In Neuromancer, Gibson portrays a technology-rich cyberpunk world whose synthesis of computer-science and biology seems predictive of our current social direction. In Gibson’s world, technological progress has had a significant effect on gender norms, as genderless cyber-space and cyborg body transformations muddle the basic biological distinctions between man and woman.

Everyone has been a dangerous driver at one point. We are all human, it is all too easy to be distracted by something while driving, or to make bad and impulsive decisions. Distractions can come from many things, it could be your morning coffee or a snack you brought along, or the phone ringing in your pocket. The music CD or the need to change the radio station, sometimes even the passengers in your vehicle. These things take your mind and eyes off the road, and results in dangerous driving. Besides distractions, dangerous driving could also be a result of poor or impulsive decision making. This could be speeding because you are in a rush to get somewhere on time. You could be under the influence of drugs and alcohol, or be irritated on the road and make rash decisions to “get back” at the other drivers. All these mistakes and decisions can cause a life.
