A TV station here in the District of Columbia recently sent a camera team out onto the streets for a couple of hours to get footage of ordinary folks walking around town while talking on or gaping, slack jawed, at the screen on their cell phones. They showed the results on the evening news. A couple of people stumbling and falling down stairs. One colliding with a park bench. One person walking into a tree. A woman walking across a street against the light, causing an oncoming truck to have to brake lest she get run over. Other assorted collisions, accidents or near accidents. Funny, yet also very pathetic.
