|
Be the first person we hire to update our web site and Facebook page and write other messages on the net to find and rally supporters of our cause. Work from your home or our office in Bellevue. THE CAUSE: Urging the phone carriers to protect us from others texting while driving by putting technology in all phones that blocks writing and display of messages while the phone is moving faster than about 15 mph -- except for phones of passengers in mass transit or where the vehicle owner has spent about $40 to install tiny transponders that the phone uses to detect whether it is in easy reading view of the driver. The technology would also inform each voice caller that the person they are calling is driving and ask whether the call is important enough that it should be put through or should go to voice mail. It would block incoming text messages and web pages until the vehicle stops. The Distracted Driving Foundation (DDFn.org) is a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit seeking to: 1. Spread the word to enough voters to get laws passed requiring this technology in all new phones and all mass transit; 2. Write technical documents and build demonstration systems to convince legislators and the public that the technology will work and be simple; and 3. Write economic analysis documents to show that the costs to phone users and car owners will be small. The right person will be chatty and empathetic and will relate well to fears of parents for the safety of their children – likely a mom. The person will have experience editing web sites, have a large number of Facebook friends, know correct spelling, enjoy spending time writing messages on the net, enjoy evangelizing a good cause, and have a middle America voice in writing. If you are that person, visit our web site, DDFn.org, and send us an e-mail. |
