Texting And Walking
It’s surprising how quickly we as a society became so completely addicted to our smartphones. 85% of the global population keep our smartphones in direct reach, even at night. So we can’t sleep without our phones. Can we walk without them? Nope. then People just can’t seem to walk down a street without doing something with their mobile device.
