We've 'evolved' To Cope With Walking And Texting by Legaycey: 1:15pm On Aug 02, 2015
We've 'evolved' to cope with walking and texting Humans have evolved a "protective shuffle" to cope with walking and texting, according to a study by the A&M University in Texas. Professor Conrad Earnest, who led the study, said the shuffle looks like a "normal walk" with a shortened stride and a tendency to raise the foot a little higher when going up curbs or steps. People texting on the move also slow their pace and tend to "deviate" from their course "a bit more" than when walking normally, he said. The inattentiveness of texting and walking has been described as "unintentional blindness", something considered so dangerous that 'texting lanes' have been introduced in Belgium.
