There has been a big push for years now to provide people with more services inside their car.  Many car companies have offered navigation, but Ford has chosen to go a step further.  Ford has chosed to release MyFord, which mixes their Sync offering from 2008 with the first ever in car wireless network.   Even though it may not be needed, it may be wanted. Why would people want an in car wireless network in the car? Isn’t this just another distraction?  Why or why not is this a good thing for inside your car?

People may think that this is wonderful to have but it is a disrtaction. With more and more things inside your car, the more things you have to worry about. With all of the things we already have to worry about, why add on to the list? The wireless network inside your car would be more of a distraction to you on the highway. Lets say you just bought one of those cars. You decide to test it on the freeway. So you are flipping through all of the new exciting things in the wireless network when your car drifts right torward the front of a huge semi. And i could guess you would know what would happen next. To prevent things like this from happening, you would need to stick with your original type of car. Not buy one of those huge worryful distractions such as the wireless network.

THIS IS A GOOD AND BAD THING BECASUE
THE BAD IS MORE PEOPLE WILL GET IN ADDIACTS BECAUSE THYE ARE NOT PAING ATTENION TO THE ROAD
THE GOODN IS THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE WANT WANT THEY HAVE FEATURE PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR IN A CAR
AND WHO WOULD WANT THAT IF YOU HAVE A CELL PHONE I MEAN THAT IS ALLREADY A DISTRACTION ALSO WHAT IS THERE TO DO ON THE WIRELESS

3. dakota short - February 14, 2010

I think this is a good idea to have something like this because a lot of people will want to buy it and it is good to have because people will use it often and will need it if there is some type of emergency

well i think that this could be realy useful to people in times. But it could also just be another distraction. But i wouldl ove to have this in a car. I think that this is really a step forward in technology. I think that many people would use this. Because it has alot of cool abilitys, one of them is of course the wireless internet. I think that this would be really cool because if u were in like a traffic hold up you could just surf the web in ur car. So this could be really handy in maters like this. So i think that this add on into the car is really gonna get alot of sales

4. sierra'h haydenn - February 12, 2010

i thinkk that it wouldd be aa bad reasonn becausee what if somethinqg badd or major happenn too your car . as if it qot stollenn or in aa badd wreckk . all of that moneyy spent will be qonee too waist . yourr car doesnt havee too be the best thinqg out theree . but i thinkk everyy car shouldd havee qpss becausee if yourr lost youu wouldntt want too pull out aa biq map bookk andd tryy too readd it whilee youu aree drivinqg . that cann be aa biqg distractionn andd cann causee major or minor accidentss . but somee of thee technoloqyy that is in cars is necessaryy but somee aree juss for no reasonn aht awl . ppl shouldd thinkk beforee thayy let theirr moneyy qo too waist likee that .

5. megan stanley - February 11, 2010

i think that on bad reason is if ur car got stolin what would u do u would have spent ur money one someyhing that got stolin that is not very smart and a good reason is if u cant find ur way arond u can us that stuff to find ur way around and then u can get to the place you need to and i think it would be a good thing if u have stuff in ur car like that because of if u sit there when u drive someone somewhere and u r sitting in the car u will have something to do hen u r just sittin ther doing nothing and sometimes whenu dont use it then that is just a waste of money!!!!!!

6. jOnaThAn dAviS - February 11, 2010

lets see, theres drinking and driving, smoking and driving, and texting and drivng. than theres this thing here. its just a distraction really like a cellphone. so there is no use. we will crash or the network could cut off. than what? so its useless! we would die or get hurt and get mad over the network. its really kind of dumb. cool but dumb. thats my opinion.

7. seLeNA hERnanDEz - February 11, 2010

b/c mayybe they want to.. nd the just think there rich nd kewl but there not.. there gonna rub it in..but if your a buisness person nd there boss ask a question on tha phone nd they answer b/c they can go to like bing or sumething♥♥♥

8. madison guillaume - February 11, 2010

people are always complaining about the percentage of car accidents. well this wireless thing is not helping. texting made things worse. cops are trying to prevent texting and now ford wants to add another distraction?! that’s wrong its not it can also help you get started on your work if your running late for your job.but there are ways net in a car can be bad.1 is because it can be very destracting to a dirver and cause many crashes.but there are alot of distractions from driver’s. thank you mrs. steed
new update for me thoat hurts.

9. Kimberly Reed #12 lady bobcats 5th period - February 11, 2010

I think it would be good. One reason why i think it will be good is because you could do more things. Another reason is that you could get confused with the directions and different streets because some streets have the same name

10. amy♥baker - February 11, 2010

people are always complaining about the percentage of car accidents. well this wireless thing is not helping. texting made things worse. cops are trying to prevent texting and now ford wants to add another distraction?! that’s wrong its not helping us, its killing us literally. the gps helps us and thats all we need. just because people want something dose’nt mean they haft to get it. sometimes their descions are not very smart. and when people start to by these cars and the percentage of car accidents go up, its fords fault.

11. CURti$ d. - February 11, 2010

i thinkk it wouldd be easierr 2 call peoplee thenn digginn forr stuff. pluss i dontt thinkk it wouldd causee as muchh wreckss.

12. Torreyshinholster - February 11, 2010

I THINK NOBODY NEED IT.BUT IT WILL BE OK USE BUT I THINK NOBODY REALLY NEED IT BUT ITHINK PEOPLE WILL PAY MORE ATTETION TO FEATURE THEN TO THE ROAD BECAUSE IT A TOUCH SCREEN SYSTEM BLIT IN A CAR AND IT MIGHT CAUSE RECK AND IT WIL BE AN DISTRACTION

13. tomesha perkins - February 11, 2010

i feel that it can be good or bad.1 way it can be good is because it can destract kids as theiur parnet is trying to drive.2 is bercause eventhough the net is able to come on phones it can be used to find direction to a place if your gps cant.3 it can also help you get started on your work if your running late for your job.but there are ways net in a car can be bad.1 is because it can be very destracting to a dirver and cause many crashes.2 is because maybe when driving and on the net it is easy for your gas to run out and it will cost you more money.so i feel thaty with this car it can go in many diffrent ways.

14. Trevor Smith - February 11, 2010

IT IS VERY DANGROUS AND A HUGE DISTRACTION. AND COULD COST MANY LIVES. AND WHO WOULD WANT THAT IF YOU HAVE A CELL PHONE. I MEAN THAT IS ALLREADY A DISTRACTION. ALSO WHAT IS THERE TO DO ON THE WIRELESS WHAT EVER IT IS. WHAT COULD IT POSSIBLY DO TO GRAB THAT MUCH ATTIENTION. THAT IS LIFE THRETINING.

15. sHELBy wHALIn - February 11, 2010

I think that this is a good idea because it is alot safer but i also think that it would cause the same amount of wrecks as there is now. I think that becuase people would be to busy trying to put in the phone number and they would also be trying to hang up the phone too.

16. Austin Curtsinger - February 11, 2010

MAYBE IT WILL BE EASIER TO CALL PEOPLE W/O DIGGING FOR STUFF AND IT COULD CAUSE A LOT LESS WRECKS FOR PEOPLE AND IT IS ALSO PRETTY KOOL CAUSE YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE IT AND SET IT TO WHERE ITS MORE LIKE YOU

17. Taya Barber☻♥☺☻♥☺ - February 11, 2010

I think this could be good and it could be bad. It could be a distraction like you said. This would be a bad effect. It could make the people not focus on the road. There could be alot of more recks. But on the other hand it could entirtan the passengers. If you were on a road trip you would want something to do would’t you. But this would probably only be agood effect for the passengers, I think.

18. Joe Lewis - February 11, 2010

I think this is a good car but this could cause more wrecks because people are paying more attention to the apps and other things more than their driving. I would not get this because i dont like fords. some people might get this car because they like ford and its got new technolgy in it. I think people should get it if they like it.

19. Michael Stahl -4th - February 11, 2010

I think this is a good idea to have something like this because a lot of people will want to buy it and it is good to have because people will use it often and will need it if there is some type of emergency.

20. shaylynn moore - February 11, 2010

Well, I can see how people can like the idea because say for instance, you are in your car and a emergency pops off, and you do not have a cellphone, thats where the in car wireless network can come in handy. And just like it can help you, it can also hurt you. People try to text and call people on their cell phones while they are driving and they get distracted. So now, with this new technology, people could also get distracted by this and this could cause more car accidents.

21. austin tucker - February 11, 2010

i htink that it would be really cool idea and thts a good idea. a car lik tht its kinda cool. but its bad cuz people would look at the car and inside instead of the road and u might get in a accient. and they just try to inspiere u and just to make u buy tht car or any thing. and some times it ins up bad or something. another wat if lik u start the car and it cacthes on fire cuz of al the electric and techology in the car and the engine is bad.
NOBODY needs this in my Opinion. This would Really honestly just Be Another distraction. I mean My Mom is Already a good driver, Because She Texts while Driving. This Peice of Technology would Just be Another One of those Things That would Cause more Wrecks. I Mean alot Of People might Think This is a Cool thing to Have in their Car.

23. ♫-Kenzi-♫ - February 11, 2010

I think it is bad. It’s just another object to increase car accidents/crashes. It is a distraction. Yes; it looks cool. Yes; people WANT it. But do you really need it? Is it going to HELP you in any way possible? No. That’s why I think it was a bad thing to put in the cars(MYFORD). But everyone has their own opinion.

24. nautica - February 11, 2010

i think people would want this in their car beacuse it’s cool and you don’t have to press any buttons cause it’s a touch screen.and i think it won’t be a distraction and it would be a good idea because when your just sitting and waiting it gives you something to do

25. kelsey vincent♥~ILY~♥ - February 11, 2010

i dont think we should have thoughs because alot of people go in recks because of stuff like this and plus we shouldnt have something like thins people will have alot of recks because they are trying to fixs it or they are messing with it but if they dont make sure what they are doing they can get in recks and they already been alot so i dont think they should have these things in the car…

26. JESSICA H.4TH - February 11, 2010

WELL IHAVE NO ANWER FOR THIS!:)

27. Anastasia Phillips .4 - February 11, 2010

THIS IS A GOOD AND BAD THING. THIS IS BAD BECASUE MORE PEOPLE WILL GET IN ADDIACTS BECAUSE THYE ARE NOT PAING ATTENION TO THE ROAD. THIS IS GOOD BECUASE THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE WANT WANT. THEY HAVE FEATURE PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR IN A CAR. MAKING IT A NUMBER #1 SELLIER TO MANY PEOPLE. THIS CAR IS A MORE FUTURERISIC CAR. MORE OF OUR TIME. AND THATS GOOD.

28. jacobi lee - February 11, 2010

i think that it is cool to have tec like that in the usa and the japen has better tec than us and that is were people make all the cool stuff at like sony and stuff, and the ford could be good with this tec,cbut the new lecoin it can paroll park for you and every thing.

29. Morgan Blackburn :) - February 11, 2010

It is a good idea. but these are some thins that is not good about it: 1. the people driving will be messing with the touch screen and the wheel and get distracted by it so they wont want to keep their eyes on the road
2. It will be EXPENSIVE!! i bet that it will take alot of gas because they car will need to run the radio internet etc// etc//
3. It will cause a gain in wrecks and crashes because like i said people will be too busy messing with the radio and stuff
Really what a cool car would be like is one you just punch in the address where you want to go and you dont have to drive just do whatever until you get there or if you just wanna go drvie around and look for something to do yuor just not sure you can just drive it would be a lot cool and easier because people would be able to text and not have to drive unless they want to drive themselves it would ease the amout of crashes and wrecks

30. DONTRELL DUVALL - February 11, 2010

I think it will be a bad idea because we already have the phone distraction. So we don’t need Any more problems. Phone distaction was texting while driving.

31. Dominique Sims - February 11, 2010

I think it is a bad idea because like what dacerius said we are already having problems with the phone distractions like texting while driving and soo we dont really need anymore problems

32. Darcerius Pickett - February 11, 2010

Bad Bad Bad. We alrieady have issues with phone distractions. And this wireless network would just be another distraction. And will cause more car crashs than cause by an phone in the car. So I say none yah(its a bad idea)

33. KyraBeasley - February 11, 2010

I think it would be a good idea. It would be good because people get lost all the time and this would help them keep going and be on there way instead of them having to stop for directions every 5 minutes. People are always looking for things that can help them in life. And the navigation system would be a way more advanced way to help people move on. But also it may be a distraction because what if your at a red light and you stop and look at your navigation system. You could possibly lose focus on waiting for that light. And the person behind could wound up crashing into you. So either way in my opinoin would be kinda okay.

34. Jamiya Young - February 11, 2010

i think its better because you don’t have to reach over while your driving to turn the radio up you can just use your stearing wheel to turn it up and change the channel with out reaching over. you can hook your ipod up to the steering whell to and change the songs with your steering wheel.

35. josh young - February 11, 2010

Well i think that this could be realy useful to people in times. But it could also just be another distraction. But i wouldl ove to have this in a car.

So i think that this add on into the car is really gonna get alot of sales.

36. brandon Bratcher - February 11, 2010

it would not be good. beuase all you need is a car that starts and gets you to places that you need to go to. you might need a gps to find out where you are going if you never been to that place. but it might be good if you just want it. but it is a watse of technology. you just need a car that gets you places. if you want a car like that just get it, or you just want it.i would stick with a car that jus gets you to places. well i am done.

37. Jordan Meece - February 11, 2010

I Really Think Nobody Needs This, This Is Just Another Stupid Idea To Have. People Are Already Geting In Car Crashes Because They Want To Text And Talk On The Phone, Witch Is Already A Big Enough Distraction, I Dont Think We Need This Because It Will Just Cause More Distractions And People Will Get In A Car Crash Or Something. This A Dumb Idea.

38. John Marshall #5 - February 11, 2010

i think this would be a distraction because already alot of people are getting in recks because of there phone. so if you put this in a car this is just another item or another reason why someone could reck. if we sdnt put this in the car then this could save lives. people would want this because it is cool. but at the same time it is dangrous. when people are in the car they will be tempted to touch it. and that could cause a reck and hurt other people.

39. Shelby Pike - February 11, 2010

NOBODY needs this in my Opinion. This would Really honestly just Be Another distraction. I mean My Mom is Already a Horrible driver, Because She Texts while Driving. This Peice of Technology would Just be Another One of those Things That would Cause more Wrecks. I Mean alot Of People might Think This is a Cool thing to Have in their Car. But Nobody NEEDS this in their Car. & When it’s In Your car While Your driving Your Pretty much getting Tempted to Touch it, & Get used To all That’s On it. & It Will just be A Distraction for You on the Road.

40. Amecia Myshaee . - February 11, 2010

I mean i doubt anybody needs this . but it would be a good thing to use . becuase if you’re a person whose always speeding and youh qet this car havinq that riqht there to show off miqht inspire youh to set it to cruise control ndd qo the speed limit ! i thinkk that all the other stuff would be cool to have but its a distradtion to the driver , tryinq to put a usb cable in while drivinq is WORSE then textinq in my opinion . whats the point in it ? he saiddd youh workk the ipod throuqh the steerinq wheel my thinq is if your lookinq at the wheel your still NOT lookinq at the road !
