2. Thesis
Cell phones give people a sense of security by letting them know
that they are connected to a network of people.This sense of
security creates a dependency on cell phones that can become a
danger if someone is driving and chooses to take their focus off
the road and focus on the phone instead.The most dangerous action
is sending and receiving text messages while operating a
vehicle.
