pedexting

PEDEXTING
texting is a good way to communicate with people especially
if you dont wont to talk with them
heck some teenagers do hundreds of texts a day talking with
their friends
ive found it a very convenient way to interact with my friends and
family
i can text that message and keep on working
they can work and look at the message and keep on working

unless

they are driving which isnt good
and now texting while walking can be just as bad



yesterday there was a report of a lady who was walking with
her family on a pier after they had eaten at a nearby restaurant
and she simply pedexted herself into lake michigan and had to
be rescued by her son and rescued workers
bet that was real embarrassing
heres the news report

her advice was no texting while walking

now there is a new app for your phone called transparent screen that
uses your rear camera to show a video screen of where you are walking
that shows up under whatever you are texting or reading

its recommended it be used sparingly and to never be used while
driving

this is what i think about all of this
