Walking the Text

                                                        YOU!!! BE THE JUDGE !
Walking the text :
                            A: "R U on ur way yet ? U r late."
                            B: "Yes I'm walking to your place right now "
                            A: "Well , stp textng srt walkng !"
                            B : "No need to stp ,baby! no need..."

May be you have seen one of the many youTube clips about the dangers of text messaging while walking: a woman falling into a shopping center fountain , people stepping onto busy roads , even a man who almost collides with a wild bear roaming a Los Angeles suburb.

     The developers of Type n Walk reckon they have the answer - an iphone app that uses your phone's camera to display am image of the view ahead , then overlays whatever you are typing , thus enabling you to avoid dangers and obstacles . Is it a clever use of technology that recognises people need to be protected in spite of themselves , or a way of setting even more screen -zombies loose on the streets ?
