As for the headphones; it could be listening distances themselves from where they actually are, or by engaging in an activity such as listening while walking, they think a perpetrator won't bother them because they won't be able to easily get the victim's attention. I'm sure there's a whole psychology behind it; it just needs to be studied.

https://www.citylab.com/life/2019/05...n-zero/589606/ Hard for me to see that. Seems pretty simple. Give people a fine for waking through an intersection glued to their phones. And levy a huge fine on people who text while driving. Or give them jail time. Lastly: "Mayor Mike" in SF will happen right around the time the Knicks win another NBA championship... |

Actually, as long as she doesn't cross any roads or so, this behavior is odd, but ok. As poedestrian on a sidewalk it is absolutely ok to not pay attention, to suddenly stop or change direction, etc. Not comparable to a texting driver. At all.

everything new, and especially things that are revolutionary, require adjustment. our smart phones are an extension of ourselves; we are cyborgs. that's not going to change, and should it? it's simply part of our evolution. perhaps try not to view everything that deviates from your own ideal as some form of a problem that ought not be, or should be fixed. allow your mind to rise and fall with the tides of human evolution and accept that overall the water is rising. anchoring yourself in your own beliefs will result in you drowning yourself whilst others rise on the surface.
there are no problems. just ride your bike. :-)

I don't generally see people walking out into the street without looking because of a phone. I almost saw a guy step out in front of a bus because he was having a conversation with someone, luckily his companion grabbed him and stopped him from doing it. |

I can't think of a foolproof way to determine if someone is actually driving when they are using their phone. Maybe you know a way? |
