Is the world going mad? From this article at FoxNews.com, it is reported that:
"People who have been injured while walking and texting on their cell phones may be in luck. A London street is experimenting with padded lampposts to protect those not paying attention from banging into them, ITN reports."
I have a whole other solution. DON'T TEXT WHILE YOU ARE WALKING. Stop and move to the side. There is a reason why they have banned mobile phone use in cars in the UK, and it is mostly because people are completely incapable of any other cognitive function once a mobile phone is introduced into the mix. Even just talking on a phone can render a person incapable of sensing their surroundings.
The report goes on to say:
"In a study, more than a quarter of respondents wanted lines on the pavement to create routes for texters to walk while using their phones."
Mad I tell you. Completely insane.
