This was not the only troubling incident of \u2018texting while walking\u2019 accident.  There was also a woman who fell not into a shallow fountain, but into Lake Michigan itself.  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.  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.  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

The old TV show Hill Street Blues<\/em> used to have each morning meeting of police officers end with the admonition to “be careful out there.” Something similar could be said of cell phone usage.  To text while walking is not illegal, but it does have its dangers.  We would all do well to “be careful out there\u201d.<\/p>\n
