Cell phone usage is very prevalent nowadays; it is seen as a quick and easy form of communication and can be attained within the span of a few minutes. Since cell phones are portable, and allow for calls to be made almost anywhere, they allow an individual to choose where and when they choose to make calls. Today, many drivers prefer to communicate via cell phones while driving so as to save time or to just convey a quick message. This increase in cell phone usage while driving has been an area of growing concern for many—lawmakers, lobbyists, public safety enforcement officers and the general public—all have been concerned with the impact of using a cell phone whilst driving. In an experiment conducted by Strayer and Johnson, the effects of driving while using a cell-phone were studied. The experiment explored a topic that is constantly under debate—whether cell phone usage affects an individual’s driving performance. It was hypothesized that holding a cell phone, or partaking in other tasks, such as listening to the radio or an audio book does not interrupt with an individual’s driving, as much as having an individual’s attention divided due to a phone conversation. Although this dual task may divide an individual’s attention, it may not be solely due to peripheral factors. Peripheral factors may include external factors such as holding the cell phone. According to studies previously conducted, peripheral factors may leave an individual with only one hand to drive the…
With the development trend of wireless communication, the main application scenarios of D2D communication in 5G network are as follows: Local service Local service generally can be understood as the user side of the business data is not through the network side (such as the core network) and directly for the local transmission. A typical case of local business is the application of social, social characteristics can be regarded as the application of adjacent D2D technology application based on…

The difference between these two is where they began, They began in similar places but yet find themselves in industries opposite of each other.

There are various devices used by the Deaf to aid in communication. These machines not only enable the Deaf to communicate, but also the hard of hearing and speech impaired. These mechanisms date back to the 1900s, and are still being improved, updated, and manufactured. “In the last 20 years, a wide range of voice, text, and video relay services and technologies have also been developed that enable consumer choice of language and mode of communication to access the telephone network” (NAD).…
“Today, there are more than 5.9 billion mobile-phone subscriptions worldwide, and for every one person who accesses the internet from a computer, two do so from a mobile device”(“Making the Case for Mobile Tech”). Out of the around 7 billion people in this world, 6 billion have some sort of access to a mobile phone. More people have access to mobile phones then they have access to working toilets.
