#303 – Distractions

Chapter: Comic
Now that hand held computers are so common I imagine we are moving into a world filled with many more minor distraction related accidents. Burned the eggs because you were checking your email. Stepped on the dog because you were watching a cat video. Hit your head on the door jamb because you were reading webcomics.

People stupid enough to do things like that should be allowed to kill themselves that way. Problem is they tend to take the rest of us with them.
I mean, for years they were talking about the dangers of talking on cell phones while driving. All of a sudden people are TEXTING while driving. What sort of an idiot do you have to be to think that THAT would be a good idea?
Ouch! Sonuva–! I just hit my head on the door jamb! Gaa, that’s smarts!
That’s something Douglas Adams didn’t think of in H2G2, accessing the book might make a situation worse, due to looking at the display when you should be running from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal, for example. Unless using a Guide, or even a Pokedex is considered a Free Action.
This cartoon makes me smile for some reason…
Was my comment deleted? If so sorry, if im on the wrong comic/strip then ignore this comment.
