Distracted Walking

Instapundit linked to a recent New York Times piece on the topic, "Distracted Walkers Pose Threat to Self and Others."

I expect this topic will be growing in importance, especially considering the increasing frequency of such cases, like the one in San Diego over the weekend, "Distracted Man Dies After Falling Off Cliffs in San Diego, Family Devastated (VIDEO)."

And watch, from earlier today, at CBS This Morning, "New research shows danger of distracted walking."
