distracted walking
The modern phenomenon of walking while talking on a cell phone or while playing video games on a smart phone or iPad. When a person engages in distracted walking, she or he becomes oblivious to traffic or other road conditions leading to increased safety risks.
Injuries to distracted walkers treated at hospital emergency rooms have spiked in recent years. However, there is no solid data linking pedestrians killed and injured in traffic accidents to those being distracted by electronics.
