#2"Ryan, the plastic surgeon behind many celebrity looks, was reportedly tweeting about his dog just before he drove to his death off a Malibu cliff."
The only thing I have to say about this, is thank God he did not take anyone else with him.

Well, I kinda feel bad for the dog. I hope somebody took care of the dog.

I feel really unclean for having googled this, but you will be delighted to know that the dog will be fine.

Re OP: my county has recently banned electronic devices while driving (only hands-free calling allowed), and completely anecdotally it has seemed to make a difference, although it's hard to say whether it is a temporary effect.

#61. some bad thing recently happened due to the use of technology
2. this is symptomatic of a more general trend; obviously the technology is useful, but we're overusing it
3. back in my day nobody had this technology, and we got along just fine
4. call to action to occasionally disconnect from the technology
