[B] If you are the type of person who is glued to your phone
when you are walking, then you are putting yourself and others
in danger. In fact, you have become a part of the real-life
walking dead, which people are now calling smartphone
zombies.
Many smartphone zombies were hit by all kinds of
vehicles. The problem has grown so badly that many places
around the world have already started taking action to try to
stop it. One such place is Honolulu, Hawaii. The city passed a
law against smartphone zombies. Some places in the USA and
several cities in Canada have the same problem. They are
trying to get laws like that.
Other places hope to get the smartphone zombies'
attention to avoid accidents. In South Korea, there are signs
that tell people to look up before crossing the street. The signs
have been put on traffic lights and on the sidewalks. In
Belgium, smartphone zombies have their own special lane.
This keeps them out of the way of faster walkers who are not
on their phones. These ideas may work to stop the walking
dead from becoming the real dead.
