In
the past few years I have written articles cautioning people about the dangers
linked to careless use of Cell phones. I wrote about the rules and laws prohibiting
use of Cell phones while driving and related dangers. Cell phone User Manuals
caution people from using the instruments not only while driving but even while
walking on roads and at risky places, but unfortunately many people do not
follow these instructions.
Not
just me but many others write to caution people, especially after Cell phone
related accidents and deaths. In spite
of the laws and regular news of tragedies, many people continue to ignore
safety and cause harm to themselves, their families and others.
Nowadays
Cell phones have become more dangerous with the ‘Selfie’ feature and are adding
to the death toll. The latest news is that India suffered the highest number of
Selfie-related deaths. According to
these reports, 60 percent of all Selfie-deaths, where a person dies while trying
to take a picture of self, occurred in our country.
Something
which started with fun objective to derive pleasure of sorts and create a
lasting memory of amusing moments of self, with people and places, is now taking
away precious lives. People are dying taking Selfies in front of approaching
trains, in front of wild animals, on top of high and dangerous places like
cliffs and roof tops, on boats, at riverfronts and at various dangerous places
and under risky situations. This Selfie obsession is spreading like an
epidemic. This fad, this madness has to end. Life is precious for the
individual, his family, his friends and all his loved ones; one should not risk
it for a Selfie.
