Recently last month, a woman was apparently walking in a mall while she was texting on her cellphone and walked straight into a fountain. Ever since this incident, there have been several suggestions in making a new law stating that it is illegal to test and walk at the same time. This has to be absurd for the fact that it seems like we are being restricted to do something. It makes sense if it is for everyone's safety but I don't think there is a need for a law restricting someone from being distracted while he/she is walking. It seems to have gone a little too far. If people don't be careful, we will eventually have laws imposed on us on every single little thing. Either people watch their actions and what they do because the consequences will be very upsetting and completely unnecessary if we know that we could put a stop on it.
