    Texting can make you drive like a drunk. Now a new study shows that texting can also make you walk like a robot. Researchers found that healthy people who read or send texts while hoofing it show subtle but potentially hazardous changes to their gait.

    I know I have tripped walking up and down stairs while trying to text. There was a story a few years about a girl who was walking and texting at the same time and she wan't paying attention and fell into a pothole. She ended up suing the city for not having the pothole covered and she won!

    It seems silly, but I wager that had she been distracted by looking through her bag or some other reason, we would be more sympathetic. My guess would be that the reason of the distraction didn't make the city any less negligent.

    Here's an app that allows people to view their path ahead while on their phones. It activates your camera and allows you too see both your screen and the ground. The iPhone version only lets you text and tweet while the android app works for any app in universal mode. People would probably still walk like robots, but maybe they wouldn't trip or step on anything. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incorporateapps.walktext&hl=en https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/type-n-walk/id331043123?mt=8
