Invisible Box Challenge Viral Trend

#invisibleBoxChallenge

The reigniting of the invisible box challenge started after the cheer leader for The Manvel Mavericks attempted it and tweeted it after which the internet made it viral on December 1, 2017.

Cheerleader Ariel Olivar was quoted as saying, "My football team, The Manvel Mavericks, played their round three of playoffs game at Waller Stadium against Cedar Park High School. Just before the game, my cheer team recalled the original video on Twitter and we decided to try it out. We all started trying it and I only did it a few times and supposedly it was pretty good. We decided to record it for the fun of it so I posted it on my snapchat story. The idea of the 'part two' came from my teammate where she 'kicked the box' out from under me."

Below is the original Tweet by Ariel Olivar on Twitter

The impressive thing about Volvo Trucks live tests are that they do get the point across about the performance and the latest technology being used in the field of transportation. We get to see how the trucks function in different circumstances and what one is getting into.

It is amazing to see a Para-glider (professional) gliding using the back of a Volvo Truck and enjoying a joy ride all the way uphill even under a bridge (all performed under strict supervision - so don't try this as extreme sports). I am sure the experience by the driver was a new one (also a memorable one) as one does keep the truck load in mind but definitely not a flying passenger that too behind the truck.

During one of the previous Live Tests by Volvo Trucks, 'The Epic Split' and others; one of the kids watching the JCVD's The Epic Split stated that the advertisement is great as it wants me to purchase not one but two Volvo trucks to perform the Epic Split. (That was definitely hilarious as a different perspective was put forth).

Now the whole purpose of the Flying Passenger Live Test - how does the performance and new technology of Volvo be explained. Have a look at the video below to understand the Consistent speed and uphill battle that takes place to keep everything synchronised.

The rise of mobile/cellphone usage has made for some changes or interesting developments in varieties of fields including safety. Cellphone related accidents have risen over the years and are at its peak. People spending time on their cellphone is on the rise, therefore more and more are being used in daily routines. Walking and travelling on different modes of transportation like buses, taxis, subways, trains, airplanes and others have become a common sight to see. Initially texting by SMS was an issue but adding to this, are the social media mobile applications which are pushing people to use more and more of their cellphone. The added usage of unlimited characters of text, photos and video sharing have led to an extended period of usage of cellphones. The assumption of people that they can multi task while driving has let them to use their cellphones, thinking that they are in full control of the situation. But as statistics show, more number of accidents are on the rise due cellphone usage. Below is a video of Responsible Young Drivers (RYD) Belgium. where under control environment, the drivers are asked to type a text while driving. I am sure the point went across to the drivers.

Recently a video has been put up by New Zealand transport agency with regard to the awareness of phone texting. The use of Lionel Richie's Hello to convey the message about putting the life of the passenger first is amazing. The main message to convey is Drive Phone free.
