By Ewdison Then on Wednesday, Nov 12th 2008 2 Comments

A GPS unit with classic 80s Knight Rider styling and the original voice of K.I.T.T. to give directions: Mio could’ve filled the box with rocks and still sold thousands to loyal fans of the TV series.

walking textingYou may remember the ITN news video that circulated the web back in March. It showed street posts wrapped in cushioning to protect those pedestrians that chose to text and walk at the same time. And while this was really nothing more than a publicity stunt, just how severe is the texting and walking problem? According to the Wall Street Journal, people that text and walk are more likely to trip and when they do so, land on their faces because the devices are held too close to the face for their hands to break their fall!

I’ll admit it. I’ve texted and walked before. I think just about anyone with a cell phone has committed this crime against paying attention. So if we all do it, it’s not really a problem, right? Wrong!
