But Her Spelling Was Perfect!

We all know you shouldn't text while driving. Here's a good argument for not texting while WALKING!

This is the latest YouTube sensation -- the woman who fell into the fountain of a Reading Mall while texting. I notice two things.
1. How quickly she picks herself up. That's quite a recovery.
2. The security folks laughing. OK, it's funny - but shouldn't someone have gone to help? I think they should at least be suspended.

I'm not a big texter but love email - and prefer actually talking to people (there's a concept!). I finally got around to buying a smartphone (a Samsung Fascinate) and am pretty happy with it. While, I'm still not so good with the on-screen keyboard (keys too tight), I find myself on it constantly - in the parking lot, in the aisles of the stores. So, I can totally see how this happened. There's an incredible world of information in your hands - yet there's also a beautiful world out there too. I'm happy to have both - and will try not to favor one over the other.
