It is becoming a well known fact nowadays that using a new or old cell phone while behind the wheel of a motor vehicle increases the likelihood of being involved in a car crash but now new evidence is emerging that that just the act of anticipating a cell phone call or text message can do likewise.

Life for students at Helena High School changed last week as they were given permission to be able to use new and old cell phones in the school building, a move that puts the school into step with its cross-town rival Capital High School as well as a number of smaller schools, which are situated in the region.

Cinema chains in the United States are considering allowing the use of new and old cell phones in movie theatres in a desperate bid to appeal to the teenage crowd who cannot bear to go for more than five minutes without texting someone.
