Since yo mentioned this.....
Think of all of the 911 calls that have saved folks' lives over the
years that the cellphone has been available to the public.

Risk versus benefit must be taken into consideration too.

Major truth disguised as sarcasm alert!

The really cool thing is that the cell phone user can cause an accident.
kill someone, and call 911 to efficiently get an ambulance to take them
to the morgue! At least they weren't killed by a drunk driver....

Sarcasm alert off

In the end, none of what transpires in life truly matters anyway. I am a
believer (God, I hate using that word - oops!) in non locality. As such, and
believing that all that has ever happened, or ever will happen, is bundled
up in one tight little ball of data, we have no free will anyway, thus,
nothing is a matter of choice. It simply is and we're just those little
football players on the magnetic football game of life. Enjoy what you can
and ignore the rest.
