Dangerous Communication

London is combatting the dangers of texting while walking by giving pedestrians a cushion on the perilous lamp posts. I can see the combo of walking and texting as a dangerous one, especially since just walking is dangerous in large cities. I wonder how many problems the e-readers are causing. I have seen my husband get pretty involved while reading his (even while watching a movie!). But there is one documented case where an e-reader saved an avid bookie. This poor guy was about to get evicted because his plethora of books became a fire hazard.Other crazy people get academic while driving. Maybe not a good idea.Getty Image
