I'll admit that there are many times when I'll be walking and texting at the same time. However, when doing so, I do try to remain aware of surroundings at least. A 10 year old Italian boy fell onto the subway tracks while totally absorbed by his PSP. Thankfully, he's okay.
Recently, there has been a viral video on YouTube where some poor chick was texting as she was walking through the mall. Totally oblivious to the fact that there was a raised edge around the water fountain. Dunk city.
Although to an extent these may be seen as things to derive a good laugh out of, it's a dangerous combination and I'm sure that we'll get more and more reports of this sort of thing happening, sometimes with tragic consequences.
