There’s no question that mobile devices have made everyday life a lot more convenient and kept people in closer communication.
But as the advances in the devices add more applications, it’s become even easier to get focused on the communications and distracted from the environment around users.
Already the upswing in vehicle accidents due to distracted driving has prompted municipalities and some states to outlaw cellphone use and texting while driving. The institution of fines is seen as a means to combat the problem as well as educate the public about the pitfalls of using the devices when behind the wheel.
The ubiquitous use of these devices has gotten people more involved in their constant use, even when just walking around. People can lose sight of their surroundings when engrossed in their phones.

Just stop! REALLY? WTF, no talking, no testing. Next thing you know there will be no cell phone use in public areas. As much as I personally would love that, STOP IT! Stop creating laws that aid those that would be taken care of by natural selection. Stop enabling the shitty gene pool! Let nature do what it does best!

I hope she is okay!! Are they going to outlaw walking and talking outright, or just walking and talking on a cellular device? I know some people who should probably receive a citation for failure to walk and talk simultaneously, without them being on a cellular device. . . o.O
