PDA Paralysis
|
|
|
In the past we have discused people distracted using phones while driving. We are now hearing talk of theaters wanting to block cell phone usage. I thought this would be a good time to bring up my new pet peeve. I call it PDA Paralysis. I spend a lot of time in airports. Picture if you will a busy terminal packed with people. You are moving along with the throng towards baggage claim for example. Suddenly the person in front of you comes to a grinding halt. What are they doing? They have stopped because they are trying to figure out something on their PDA or phone. They can no longer walk and chew gum. Something has so overwhelmed them they have to stop to figure it out. Of course the result is disaster. The chain reaction of people either stopping or swerving with their Winnebago roller boards in tow is truly a sight. I am curious as to how many of you have noticed this growing phenomena either in airports or anywhere else. Share your stories!
