Padded lampposts not for the crazy, but for the texters
by: Sarah

padded_postI know it is dangerous to text while you drive, but is it really that dangerous to do while you walk?  I read over on Engadget about the people in Brick Lane, London having padded lampposts to shield their noggins when they walk into them.  Apparently 1 out of 10 people have actually injured themselves when they hit the lampposts while texting.

That sounds a little pathetic if you ask me.  I text a lot, almost non-stop at times and I walk just fine.  If the padded lampposts end up helping prevent injury, “there are plans to roll out the idiot-proof system in Birmingam, Manchester, and Stupidton.”
