Smartphones are powerful devices with many fun applications, making it convenient for chatting and making friends. Some people are so addicted to their phones that they can't put them down, even while walking. Below, we will discuss the dangers of walking and playing with your phone.
Distracted Attention
Walking and looking at your phone at the same time can easily distract your attention and obstruct your vision. Your reaction time will decrease, affecting your judgment of road traffic. With your attention focused on your phone, it becomes difficult to react promptly to any risks or hazards.
Safety Hazards
Reports of accidents caused by walking and playing with phones, such as fractures, falling into deep holes, or being involved in traffic accidents, are not uncommon. Drivers need to focus their attention while driving, and pedestrians should also walk attentively and prioritize safety. Walking with your head down, playing with your phone, poses a significant safety risk, increasing the chances of colliding with yourself or others. This behavior not only shows a lack of responsibility for your own safety but also affects others' travel.
Eye Fatigue
Staring at one thing for a long time can easily strain your eyes. The light reflected from the phone screen can be harmful to your eyes, especially when you are walking. Your eyes have to strain to focus on the phone screen, and prolonged exposure can affect your vision.
Joint Pain
When walking and looking at your phone, your head is always lowered, and your hands maintain the same posture. Prolonged periods of keeping your head down and holding your hands in the same position can easily cause cervical spondylosis and joint pain, posing a risk to your physical health.
Tips
When walking, pay attention to vehicles and stay focused. It is not advisable to play with your phone, game consoles, read books, draw, or eat while walking. Being inattentive while walking not only affects your personal safety but also causes inconvenience to others.
