The Dangers of Texting and Walking

Texting and Walking in the city poses dangers to users and pedestrians alike – both physically and culturally.

-Hailey Bruinsma

The widespread use of cellphones to stay connected has many benefits. However, using them to text and check social media while walking in a busy urban environment can pose many dangers.  Through video documentation and strategically placed public posters we aim to raise awareness about the dangers of not paying attention to the surroundings in a bustling urban environment.
