In 2011, 3,331 people were killed in crashes involving a distracted driver. 3,267 in 2010. [1] When you say "This reduces distraction." you mean compared to holding the phone and doing those actions, right? The way I would account

These "phones" make such huge difference to my life that I can't imagine not discussing them. I just moved to san francisco from UK. I have never been here before. Using my phone I can video call my family, who are missing my

This is what it seems like to our generation (I'm guessing you're 25+). By the time current 12 year olds are old enough to buy art, buying it online will seem totally normal. ~2006 I tried to create an online art marketplace (this
