Default New Problem on Multi-Use Paths--Masses of People Staring at theirPhones

My wife uses the San Tomas Aquino Creek Trail
http://www.rhorii.com/STACT/SanTomasTrl.html which runs right by her
office.

It's usually very lightly used. During the past few days it has been
packed with scooters, pedestrians, skateboarders, cyclists walking their
bike, and hoverboarders. They are all intently staring at their phones
and madly swiping. She also has notices hordes of people walking around
the office park where she works, including them congregating outside her
window.

Not sure what the heck is going on here. Must be some new-fangled app on
these people's phone that makes them go outside, but not pay attention
to their surroundings.

It's an app called Pocomon GO.

Here in Australia it has become a problem with people
walking onto roads without looking.

Population control. If you're dopey enough to be wasting your time on an "augmented reality" game based on a cartoon show/card game for ten year-olds, then you don't deserve to be in the gene pool. What is the world coming to? Dopes and terrorists. It's like Jihad meets Idiocracy.

Get a cheap bell. Or a horn. Those pump-up horns are loud enough.

Think of it as Darwin's theory in action, "a branching pattern of
evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection, in
which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the
artificial selection involved in selective breeding."

The intelligent and alert of the species get to breed while the "Num
Nuts" don't. :-)

The idlers are seeking enlightenment from their phones. They have
made the pilgrimage to the various shrines in the park, where the
prophets and radio waves are known to congregate. They are now
performing the ritual of finding a hot spot, syncing their phones, and
engaging in responsive dialog with the spirits, in the hope that
Usenet, Siri, Cortana, or TheAnswerDude will provide them with the
answers they seek.

The congregations are not so that they may be closer to their
prophets, but rather that they seem to have found an open Wi-Fi
hotspot. I suggest you have your wife ask IT if their Wi-Fi is still
secure and if some moron has punched the router reset button, which
default the router to wide open. It's quite common.

Natural selection doesn't work when the govenment supports mostly the
failures at the expense of the successful. Your purpose in life is to
consume, pollute, and over-populate. Failure to do any of these is
punished by society but aided by government.

Nuts" don't. :-)


There are apps for the unintelligent and distracted:

The meek shall inherit the earth. I think they already have.
