discussed about the dangers that these devices pose while their users are walking.&nbsp; Yet the occasional news report does indicate that walking while texting or talking actually has some drawbacks too.&nbsp; Many Americans saw a recent video of a woman in the mall who was texting as she strolled along; she walked straight into a fountain and toppled in.&nbsp; The video went viral, most likely more because it was hilarious than because people were taking it as a cautionary tale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>This was not the only troubling incident of \u2018texting while walking\u2019 accident.&nbsp; There was also a woman who fell not into a shallow fountain, but into Lake Michigan itself.&nbsp; Recently in China, a girl was so deeply engrossed in her cell phone usage that she vanished down a sinkhole created by water running beneath the surface of the street.&nbsp; Of course, that could have happened do anyone walking along; the troubling part of this tale is that according to reports, she vanished without even yelping or calling out.&nbsp; It was as though she were so wrapped up in her cell phone that she did not notice that she had vanished beneath the surface of the earth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>The old TV show <em>Hill Street Blues<\/em> used to have each morning meeting of police officers end with the admonition to &#8220;be careful out there.&#8221; Something similar could be said of cell phone usage.&nbsp; To text while walking is not illegal, but it does have its dangers.&nbsp; We would all do well to &#8220;be careful out there\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Much has been said about the dangers of cell phones and driving, but relatively little has been discussed about the dangers that these
