Fall. Time for the young (and old) to go back to school.Time to go through photos of Summer vacation, put them in "virtual" photo albums using Snapfish.com, Picasa, and the most popular site for posting photos: Facebook. Oh, yeah, it's time for a little education, too, time to learn a bit more about Facebook Business pages, how Apple iTune applications allows for Ramadan education, how to have your cell phone put a lock on your text/driving & the new Android X phone. We also are offering a hands-on SEO workshop.

Stop Texting and Driving...By Using Software

Maybe the DMV should have an “Oath of Licensure” that all drivers have to pledge before being issued their licenses. It could say “I, (and state your name), solemnly promise to uphold the safety of all people on the road, in my car and myself – with liberty and justice for all!” ...

...The last bit might be going a little far with the liberty and justice clause. But I like to imagine a world where people who drive really COMMIT to the drive. They do it and take it seriously. Did you know that anyone is almost four times as likely to die in a car accident, than a plane. But imagine if we held ourselves as accountable for our personal and public safety as we hold pilots, public transit officials.

This month marks the second year that California has made Hands-Free driving a must for all motorists who want to socialize while driving. This funny video about “the things we can accomplish driving, now that our hands are free” went viral here, soon after law wen into effect. Not-so-funny statistic: Texting while driving is the #1 killer of teen-age drivers between 17 and 21.

We all wear different hats in different roles. Are you a driver? If you drive and that’s your role at any point, commit to doing your job. Yes, it feels easy much of the time. But the none of your “other hats” – your distractions - will ever carry the worth any loss that comes from a car accident, no matter how minor or serious the crash. Commit yourself to the job before you. Sure, take a pledge. And if you feel like you need a tool to help you with your commitment, don’t be afraid to use one. Here are some suggestions for tools to curb your multi-tasking ambitions:

iZUP is a mobile application that helps drivers avoid distractions caused by their mobile phones. For about $4.95-9.95 per month (depending on what carrier and phone you have), this product holds text messages, e-mails and calls while you’re driving, yet always allows unlimited access to 911 and a list of authorized phone numbers. The software development firm that created the product, Illume donates five percent of net proceeds to organizations that educate people on the dangers of cell phone use while driving. iZup works with all major smartphone carriers and various phone models.

CellSafety ($9.99) can be installed on Blackberries, Android, and Nokia S60 phones. CellSafety must have been created by concerned and proactive parents. The service boasts instant text or email notifications to parents “whenever there is a concern”; message monitoring prevents sexting, pedophiles, cyber-bullying, suicide or gun talk; GPS Tracking so you can know where your child is 24/7 from anywhere in the world, as well as “Virtual Fences” to let you know when your child enters or leaves defined perimeters. Of course, my favorite features are the No Texting and Driving technology (which permits texting within a car, only with exclusive permission from guardians) and No Texting Zones which blocks texting in certain zones. This software also stores location history (GPS-tracked) for up to several days, porn filters, and a Speed Alert to let you know if the phone was ever traveling over the speed limit. Don’t worry, it still allows unlimited access to 911 calls.

Zoom Safer ($2.99/month or $25 one-time fee) Zoom Safer activates automatically or manually when driving, locks the keypad to prevent texting or emailing while driving and filters inbound calls based on priority. This software ensures hands-free use for all phone calls, sends auto-replies to unanswered calls, emails, and texts. It can also notify family and social networks when user starts and stops driving.

Text Blocker offers a free version of similar software and upgrades costing as most as $99/year. $99 sounds like a lot but safety, peace of mind and healthy drivers hold a much higher value!

Think you don’t need software because you’re good at texting while driving? Gauge your distraction levels with this online simulator similar software and upgrades costing as most as $99/year. $99 sounds like a lot but safety, peace of mind and healthy drivers hold a much higher value!

WTF is this guy doing? Hope he's not on MY freeway
