Am I the only one who just cant text and walk at the same time? I have to look up and around me every second because I'm paranoid I'll bump into someone or something.
No, criminals look for kids, old people and women. When i was a kid I get robbed 3 or 4 times walking from the bus stop to my house and my phone was in my jacket not at sight, once I hit the 6ft 2 mark the criminals started to avoid me, I do the same walk with phone in my hands in plain sight and nothing happens
A close friend of mine is visually impaired and the times these idiots walk into her! Text walkers making others responsible for their safety turns me into the hulk.
This is why I hate most technology. People don't give a shit about what's going on around them. Most of my friends do the same thing, and it's really annoying. If your reading this, please don't be that kind of person.
I'm retired and every morning I take my dogs for a walk at a local wetland. There are a number of other people doing the same thing. Some of them are on their phones texting or talking. I've been walking at the same place for about 10 years. I've seen numerous species of Ducks, Swans, 3 species of Geese. A number of hawk species along with Herons, Egrets and a bunch of other birds. Even a Bald Eagle once which was extremely odd considering where I live. We have frogs, crayfish, Jack Rabbits, deer, coyotes and river otters. I'm wondering how many of the people on their cell phones see what I've seen. Many of the sightings are "a moments notice". Then again, perhaps it's only important to me to not only see where I'm going, but where I've been.
I guarantee you they are missing out on nature. If they did happen to look up and see some beautiful animal, they'd take a picture, post it on Insta, and keep walking. It's insane and sad what's happening to our society.
When I talk or text on the phone.. I STOP and place myself somewhere where I can't disturb. Then where it's done, I walk on ! And I don't get hit by a car.
I can consider myself kinda addicted to using my phone a lot mainly for using UA-cam, watching movies and listening to music but the texting types like these people are a different breed. I never use my phone while walking especially texting. Only when I'm waiting for something or just bored but that usually happens when I'm stationed and not walking. And it's also my thing to be aware of my surroundings when I go places.
When it comes to walking across the street or driving a vehicle (anything that has to do with a cell phone can wait especially talking or texting.) If you are walking a texting just find a place to sit down and finish. Try going 1 day without using you're cell phone (No talk no text don't even turn it on)
Oh wow is it the hyper Focus or the way it engages you? This would be a great study both physically and for sympathy because a lot of people have low vision
How do they do that!? I can't use my phone while walking (not that I won't but I really CAN'T) because I'm always anxious that I might trip or get to an accident just bump into people!
Many people are isolated to have concerns, respect the lives caused by mobile phones. I really regret that because they do not care about people even with their own life
I used to see people walking downstairs to catch the subway even when there are a rush of people trying to catch the next train, whenever I saw that I was hoping they would fall and break their necks so I could find an excuse to say "I told you so" or "I knew it."
It causes a lot of auto VS pedestrian accidents it happened to me. I was playing a game on my phone and hit the button to cross the road. I started heading across all I remember was a loud noise then I was laying down in the back of a cop car and an ambulance was pulling with the whirlies going. I was all stoed up for 2 weeks. It is amazing how bad things can hurt and not have any broken bones.
I am 6 ft and 225 lbs solid muscle . I do not get out of people way when they do not want to look up . meet brick wall. and for sure i stiff arm them. I make it sure that I dont behave this way in public. I look where I am going . people who do not. dont get out of people way. they expect other to. again...meet brick wall 6 ft 225 lbs.
When people get hurt, while texting and walking, I am glad they do, nor will I make way on the side walk when they come at me, I stand solid until they walk into me. They are ...............
they already have a system for people who walk and text on the street like this, guys on mopeds who nab their phone right out of their hands while they look up and watch them ride away with it, sad really
In London now over 100 phones A DAY are grabbed right out of peoples hands by people on mopeds, they just ride up on the pavement and you never see them coming. They also stalk busy crossing and wait for people to stand there looking down at there phones while they wait to cross and bye bye phone. One guy was caught with 25 phones he stole like this in 60min eyes up if in London.
Why do people do that? And who are they texting to all the time anyway? If I need to make a call or text, I stop first and find a spot where to do this. I can't do both or I slam into someone or something or get run over! And yes, they do look stupid.
but at least it is only them who get injured, but when i am walking and texting, i am very vigilant and hold my phone up a it whilst also constantly looking where i am going
So why don't cell phones come with proximity alerts, like some cars can detect vehicles in a blind spot. A minor vibration could alert the user that an object is approaching (or they are approaching an object). Let's face it. Cell phones are becoming indispensable and this problem is not going away.
*I think it depends on the person.* *When I'm focused on my phone I'm well aware on what's going on around me.* *I may not be able to see it clearly, but I can make out what it is quite well.*
You cannot be 'well' aware of what's going on around you when you are looking at your phone. I'm sure you're missing a lot of things but have no idea b/c you're staring at your device.
Well syke I keep looking up every second or so and normally don't text all that much. I have noticed while visiting other countries though that this often happens in bigger cities like New York in the US or Sydney in Australia.
Literally I can never use my phone while walking I don't know how can u use your phone while walking cuz that can be dangerous and fatal. When u using your phone u are like into that u forget about your surroundings and bump into anything and anyone!
I think is a good way to make concius about the exceedingly use of the cellphone. Because we have specific places for people that can't se and, also is something like that because the people on the cellphone can't see around of them
Piotr Segal I'm at home, sitting. When I leave phone is for emergencies. if I get a call or text, check at lunch. It seems people need others to make them feel accepted or something. Phones keep those not happy alone...co depending

I don't know why but when I walk and text, I start leaning and moving to the right. Now I look at my phone only when I'm stationary.
Yeah me too. I have to stop to text.
I never use my phone while walking!
I would get dizzy.

Thanks for the tip.

I wanna see if it works!! Why did the video ended??
replying about 9 years late, but theres a video about it im pretty sure, its called "Top 5 Text-Walkers | Crowd Control"
1:53 when it reaches 100% I'll be easier to pick pocket people hahahehe
You can't pickpocket while you're busy texting
xd but true if its at 100 you'll be texting too so................
Or at least cut there hand off like they used to do in the middle ages
@Jalan Marshall I'd prefer not to
I'd actually be interested to see if their plan works. Maybe that's the researcher in me.

I ABSOLUTELY HATE WHEN PEOPLE USE THEIR PHONES WHILE WALKING. WHY????
I absolutely hate it when people type in all upper case...

yeah I can do that running 15 second while I'm on a phone I do track
I don't know why. You tell me.
Brem I do too. It's like they're yelling. Right.
When I talk or text on the phone.. I STOP and place myself somewhere where I can't disturb. Then where it's done, I walk on ! And I don't get hit by a car.

I think in Japan they have sidewalks for people that have cell phones.

It's 2023 now and I can tell you that Japanesse simulation was wrong😂
If they need to text or look at their phone pull over if driving if walking stop and get out of everyones way show some common courtesy.

Looking at this on my cell phone while walking. This video should be shown only on TV.
the cliff hanger is beautiful lol.
Looking from afar (like from this video), people on their phones literally look like zombies
Ha! He slapped a high five! Lol. Awesome.
Pranking people for social science purposes? Cool!
Nothing is more interesting than watching phone-users in public, either being killed or seriously injured. I love it.
Those "texting lanes", if come true one day they will be a main target for theft's & people just looking to punk someone that's not paying attention.

Lmfao 3 years later pretty much everyone owns one and people hardly ever get hurt texting

People can't even walk and text it's quite crazy that there are people out their that text and drive.
Invented a device that you clip on your phone so you can be on your phone and see forward
but at least it is only them who get injured, but when i am walking and texting, i am very vigilant and hold my phone up a it whilst also constantly looking where i am going
I am watching this video while walking !
People are getting dumber
Boneman131 smarter because Of google!
I think that it was a good experiment as some people walking on the street without pay attention and it has made accidents...

One word.. Idiots. I'm proud i don't txt and drive / walk and txt.
Jay Algonkin then how did you comment this
Stfu oldy
That is INSANE . . . .
The device is called " zombie pilot " - it fails frequently - not that the users would notice...
Oh c'mon, what bad can happen if I am texting and I am not jaywalking?
Some phone companies make phones that pops up a warning message saying "No walking and texting" when you walk and your device is on
well i hold my phone at a certain angle so i can see where i'm going so....
But if they aren't paying attention in the first place how will they know the cellphone lanes are there...
This wouldn’t happen in my country Philippines. People get scared to use their phone in crowded places.
1:48 SHIBUYA CROSSINGGGGGG I REMEMBER GOING THERE IRL 1 YEAR AGO AAAAAAAAAA
And the device is constantly spying on you.
Next time,it'll be a mugger after your phone.Smart phones,dumb owners!
Nice !
I never walk and text before maybe because Im not the texting type and I only put out my phone when I know it's safe or standing still or sitting
*watching this video while walking through the city*
I always stop when I text someone back.
did the spray paint work?
7 years late to this but pretty sure it did, video about it is called Top 5 Text-Walkers | Crowd Control
Its the actual better way that is done painting on street for people who is using cellphone while walking.....
love this show
I think is a good way to make concius about the exceedingly use of the cellphone.
Because we have specific places for people that can't se and, also is something like that because the people on the cellphone can't see around of them
And sometimes you get lost LoL😂
It's like the movie Her. That movie terrifies me.
I love walking hard hockey check style thru text walkers..

2020 now nobody is outside anymore unless its to shop for food.
so what happened with the experiment. Did people follow the arrows? Great video!
I have ignored many things on the street because I was watching this video in my phone
Those people on the phone wouldn't notice that there are celebrities passing by them
please don't end like that
I didnt notice a whole parking lot empty out while i was on my phone in my car once
Me not know what could be so important that you need to look, talk or text while walking or driving.
the video ended. now we'll never know what happen
Andriod and iOS have speech-to-text built into their Messaging apps. They both work perfectly, give it a shot.
This actually Works except they demanded for a series of lanes with other gadgets.
I walk while i text, but i'm fully aware of my surroundings.
I got on down on one knee to tie my shoe, and people were tripping over me, even though they had 100 yards to know I was there.
WTF....e-mailing while texting OM gawd!!!!
Well somebody out der must b watching dis on der cellphone while walking
Well, they might be talking to someone who is in an emergency, for all they know
I HATED these people in the Hallways at school.
I lost it at the simulation 😂
well????? did it work??????
No it wont work .
One of the reasons people don’t say hi anymore.
