The Hewlett-Packard Company has been trying to revive its desktop-computer business for a few years.  One thing they offered to consumers is personal computers with touch-screen monitors.

The touch-screen has become the new accessory for many electronics, but this sleek new fad can lead to car accidents because drivers are not paying attention.

Cell phones like the Apple iPhone and the Samsung Instinct are two products that consumers use everyday that have touch screens.  Many cars on the road use touch screens for navigation and media playing.  The use of these touch-screen devices can cause car accidents because of driver distraction that lead to personal injury or wrongful death.
