How is it possible you haven't noted that these devices affect a subset of population in a manner that can be fairly described as 'mesmerized'? "going 115 mph" on Snapchat. Isn't the mere fact that someone would feel compelled to chat at 115 mph enough? I remember my younger days when I edged closed to that number going from NYC to Troy on 95 and even adjusting the tune or lighting a cig was a very deliberate operation. If you are texting at that speed, some part of your rational mind has been short circuited.
