Texting and Walking: 65% of You Do it

 

Admit it , we all do it , or we all seen peoples doing it , people rather reply a text then look at the road while cross , you may have walk though a whole street without realizing what had happen round you , because you were too busy texting .

So it should come as no surprise that a recent survey by textPlus, a free texting and calling app for Android, iOS and Windows, found 65% of those polled admitted to texting while walking.

Turns out, though, that stat changes with age. Only half of the 35 to 44 year olds say they text and walk while 73% of 13-17 year olds admit to doing so. Why do people do this? Because they feel their texts are too important to wait. And as you’d expect, the younger the age, the more important the text.

Which begs the question, is your text so important you’d risk your safety? Sixty-three percent of those textPlus polled said texting while walking might be safe, depending on where  you are. Perhaps they haven’t seen those padded posts on the streets of London that were put up to protect distracted texters.
