Scosche's cellCONTROL is expensive ($130), likely to be ineffective, and only increases our reliance on technology. If we turn to this technology to solve our problem of using technology while driving, what message are we sending to our posterity? As Nicholas Carr discusses in his book, The Shallows, children and teenagers are already growing up with a nagging compulsion to check email, texts, and other cell phone notifications. When we turn to new technology to curb our technology use, it shows our lack of self-control. Do we not have the capacity to put down our cell phones for a fifteen minute drive to the office or school? And if we can't trust ourselves, then how can we expect to trust children or teenagers not to do the same thing? We should think of a better solution than to put our trust in yet another technology. We should put down the cell phone. Yes, it may take some work and retraining our brains, but it is worth it to drive safely. Let's put down the cell phone without this expensive, unnecessary technology.
