If your commute involves walking then you’ll have probably witnessed the “Phone Zombie”. It’s a creature that stares blankly into a mobile phone without really paying attention to their direction or surroundings. Usually there’s a few last-minute turns as the person (or you) changes direction before hitting something.
In China they’ve tried to address this, and have introduced a “phone lane” on the footpath. Part of the pavement is reserved to those who dawdle along, holding up the human (non-Zombie) traffic behind.
So far, it’s been a bit of a failure because the Phone Zombies haven’t seen the notices or other non-Zombies have walked into the Zombie Zone. Add the fact that Phone Zombies are stopping to take pictures of the Zombie Zone and, well, you’ve got an even bigger problem.
