Safety Measures At The Feet Of Smartphone Zombies: Article Analysis

Do traffic signals make a difference when drivers are conducting their vehicles? In U.K. the roads have less signs and are smaller roads than in the United States. The United States has great amounts of traffic signals and symbols all over the road to make the driver more aware. In the U.K. accidents do occur but not that often has in the United States. In the Unites States every second there is huge amounts of accidents going on over the nation. John Staddon in his magazine article “Distracting Miss Daisy” tries to persuade that traffic control is making traffic more dangerous because we do not pay attention to the road, but to the signals.

„„ In 2009, 5,474 people were killed on U.S. roadways and an estimated additional 448,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes that were reported to have involved distracted driving (FARS and GES). „„ Of those people killed in distracted-driving-related crashes, 995 involved reports of a cell phone as a distraction (18% of fatalities in distraction-related crashes). „„ Of those injured in distracted-driving-related crashes, 24,000 involved reports of a cell phone as a distraction (5% of injured people in distraction-related crashes). „„ Sixteen percent of fatal crashes in 2009 involved reports of distracted driving. „„ Twenty

Since moving to Gainesville in the early '80's I've seen a slow and steady increase in red light running. A red light runner was something I noticed only occasionally. Seeing an occasional red light runner increased to seeing one about once a month, then to once a week, increasing again to once a day. Now I see many red light runners every day. Running a red light increases the chance of being involved in a crash, furthermore, running a red light thrusts people and property needlessly and selfishly into harms way. Rules, laws, limits, signs, and lights, have all been established, enacted, and erected, not only to control the flow of traffic, but to make driving safer. The first speed limits of 12 MPH in the cities and 15 MPH on country roads for motorized vehicles was set in Connecticut in 1901 (History.com). The world's first electric traffic light was installed at the corner of Euclid Avenue and East 105th Street in Cleveland Ohio in 1914 (History.com). And while walk/don't walk signs debuted in Washington D.C. in 1939 as revealed by research conducted by Richard Weingroff, it is unknown when or where the first was installed. Arguably all of these improvements helped to make driving safer. Of course all the laws, rules,

The group with the Midwest as their territory is ready and prepared for the zombie attacks! We have figured out the pattern and have a visual representation of it. As you can see, our map design is very clear while still being precise and creative. We have included a key, labels, a grid, a scale, and a compass rose to make our map very easy to understand. Some of our biggest cities in our area are Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee and Columbus. We added highways and train routes to make sense of the connections between them all. We wanted to clearly show how the biting attacks were spreading, so we color coded our entire process. Day one’s attacks are in orange, day two in pink, day three in yellow, and day four in green. Finally, we made a variety of symbols to show different aspects of our region. For example, take into account our symbols for fifty attacks or our symbols for campgrounds.

SD2: They go outside but do not allow themselves to be disconnected from the online world.

A world where patient zero has caused a zombie apocaplypse you are one of the remaining survivors who fight to survive in the chaotic world you rome. You will have to find food, water, weapons, and shelter to stay alive and keep fighting through massive hoards of zombies which will try to kill you with no mercy. You must choose a path of good or evil to make friends or to betray. There are no rules and you are the judge of your decisions. The path you choose will paint your legacy as a hero or a villain.

Running at night is what many people do, but it can be very hazardous when the sun is down. Joggers are in danger at night, as of about 60% of accidents involving cars and joggers colliding happen between 6-9 a.m., and about 20% of accidents involving cars and joggers colliding happen between 6-9 p.m. You can see that lives can be cut short when joggers are not visible to drivers. We are trying to stop this with our service, and improve the quality of life of others by stopping more tragedies and accidents from happening, and stopping lives from being cut short. Nightshock will help solve these problems by lighting up and letting the drivers know where the joggers are at night. Running at dawn and dusk is hazardous, especially in suburb areas. This piece of wearable tech is special, because there is special Adafruit Makerkit technology that is designed to be sewn inside clothing, but can still light up like a warning sign. The battery pack for the Adafruit Makerkit allows someone to wear clothing with light up materials such as LEDs without having to plug it into a computer. It will complete this service, and improve the quality of life as

Guide to survive when humanity from the zombie attack. Watch movies and read the stories contained in the books about the zombie that there is an enemy moves from the zombie proper to humans through the bite. And that the zombies do not die, but to destroy any brain destruction of the head and brain, because this virus is found in the brain. Also there is important information is that the zombies slow and screwed up but never gets tired and can haunt you anywhere. Zombie does not like the lights and fire. In one of the movies that I watched the zombie afraid of silver is also clear to us that the zombies can not swim and thus sink to the bottom.

Many who are on their phones while they walk claim that they can see where they are going with their peripheral vision, but can they really? Approximately 1,000 die every year as a result of distracted walking. Distracted walking is a very important issue that has recently risen in popularity. Honolulu has become the 1st major U.S. city to ban distracted walking, and other states might soon follow. Passing a law making it mandatory that people pay attention while crossing the street can significantly reduce the number of lives claimed by distracted walking.

Zombies are organisms in human form that possess extensive damages and abnormalities to the brain due to the exposure in a “zombie virus”. Zombies can be categorized as an infectious disease or sickness that can be transmitted very easily through a bite or through the air that we breathe. Timothy Verstynen a neuroscientist and a professor of psychology defined zombies as a disorder called consciousness deficit hypoactivity disorder or CDHD “which is the loss of rational, voluntary and conscious behavior…inability to coordinate motor or linguistic behavior” (s1). Through the virus, zombies acquire behaviors like “hyper aggression, memory deficits, movement dysfunction, language disruptions, and visual recognition impairments”(S1). These behaviors

I need to warn you that someday zombies will take over the world. We need to be prepared, this is not just my opinion. This is a fact. Watch any zombie movie, and you too will see the TRUTH. Although the likely hood that you will be turned into a zombie is great, there’re some things that you can do to prepare.

Have you ever experienced or have you seen someone texting, talking, listening to music, while walking and they run into something or someone because they were distracted by using their phones? The article I have chosen for this week is about a study on the behaviors of people/pedestrians and inattentional blindness. The study had taken place in Taiwan. The control groups had no device given and their crossing behaviors were monitored, experimental group were give a device so their behaviors could be monitored while texting, talking, and listening to music. People/pedestrians were monitored to see if there were any inattentional blindness and if they could see or hear on abnormal object in close proximity to them such as, a

A pedestrian is at-risk while texting and walking near an intersection. Sadly, nearly 2,500 pedestrians killed while texting and walking (Horn, 2016). The NHTSA stated that approximately 73 percent of traffic crashes with the pedestrian usually occur at night. The fatality rate is steadily spiking up across the nation in pedestrian being distracted while walking (Horn, 2016). Certainly, a person being distracted while walking and texting is a dangerous combination.

I understand people have busy lives, but nothing is more important than your safety. Many people now have smart phones or other similar mobile devices that make their lives easier. Not only are people walking and texting, but people are driving and texting as well and together this is a dangerous combination. Nothing is more important they your personal safety. People always need to be aware of their surroundings, especially when walking

Have you ever driven home or walked home from somewhere, but had little awareness of your actual journey home3. I know that I, myself walked back to my house after class only to realize that I don’t remember actually walking back and I have even unintentionally walked home when I intended to go someplace else. In this paper Hyman et al. investigate the process by which people who have divided their attention on two separate things, such as cell phone users, may not perceive things yet often avoid running into them just as I have when I made it home safely even though I did not remember my walk home. To test this, the researchers placed a signboard on a pathway and observed people as they walked near it and avoided it. Then further down the path they stopped the people and asked them if they had passed any obstacles on the walkway. If they said they had seen an obstacle then they were asked to identify it. Then if they did not mention the sign then they were asked directly if they had seen the sign and if they knew what the sign said. The researchers found that cell phone users moved to avoid the sign when they were very close to it, specifically within feet, 25.8% of the time whereas the people without a cell phone only did this 9.6% of the time. Additionally, 63% of cell phone users saw the sign and 55.6% of them knew what it said whereas 89.1% of the
