Textng on the go. The latest tech-created public nuisance

Texting-on-the-go is just the latest tech-created public nuisance as a growing group of multitaskers are texting on the go, trying to manipulate the small keypads of a mobile phone or personal digital assistant while ambulatory. They obliviously ram into walls and doorways or fall down stairs. Out on the streets, they bump into lampposts, parked cars, garbage cans and other stationary objects, reports the WSJ.

Maybe padded lamposts are not such a bad idea after all.
