I'm going out on a limb here....

 


a simple process of logic. The virus means less people around. Less people around means less people walking. Less people walking means less people walking whilst texting.

or so I thought...

so a casual stroll along Sydney Road and I cannot begin to believe that this is happening right now. Someone with headphones on is texting whilst walking. To add insult to injury, this is not a person who is wholly competent with the whole getting out of the way thing when confronted with such a dilemma as far as co-ordination goes. I find myself doing a dance routine for a minute just to walk along the street. 

so I sit down on a seat near the tram depot and next to me is this person doing something on his phone. I said, "Did you just see that?" He did - and the response?

"You are going to hate this."

he is working on an app called dotted line and testing it in the local area. The user enters their current location and the place they want to go to. A dotted line on a map display appears on the screen and the line goes bold as to their progress along the line. Then he displays the true moment of terror.

split screen. You can use the app and text at the same time.

no, I'm not going out on a limb here. This is the most dangerous piece of technology developed today and should be banned out of existence.
