Texting and Driving

The video I watched was “AT&T Texting and Driving Documentary—“The Last Text””. This video is meant to be a message to drivers who text while driving. The video showed 3 people who risked and lost their lives in car accidents caused by them reading and / or replying to texts. 2 of the three people were girls who died, and one of the three people was a man would had a lot of brain damage from his accident. The man talked about how he is now not able to do most of the things that he was able to do before his accident, even walk. You could tell by the way he talked and moved that he had some sort of damage caused to him in his life. This video really grab’s the viewers’ attention by adding specific details about how the people involved in the accidents ended up (either dead or severely brain damaged), and how it affects their families day after day. They also showed gruesome pictures, footage from a memorial birthday party of one of the girls who died on what was going to be her 19^th birthday, and even the texts they were trying to send as they got into their accidents. Their texts were so average and unneeded, something that was not worth that cost of their life.
