Scientists in Australia,studied the negatives of texting on your mobile device while walking,Well not only is it annoying,it causes problems and accidents.
They decided to do a study on 26 people doing three different type of things,one group walked while typing a sentence,while another walked while reading a sentence and the final group walked while doing nothing.
During the study, scientists found that in one area that reading/texting affected movements while walking.
People that were texting also was found to walk slower due to lack of focus unable to walk in a straight line,also moved there necks less when reading their cell phones.
This article does not relate to school,but it relates to teenagers because most often then we realize that teens walk around and text all the time,unable to pay attention to what they are doing also what is around them.
This affects me,because I do this myself when I am in a store or something with my mom,I agree with the study because I've looked at myself doing those things that was said in the article.
I've also seen other people do it and run into things because of them not being able to pay attention.
With the study that the scientist did with a group of 26 people,it just helps them in proving that texting can causes problems with balance,as well as,tell the type of things that happens while texting and walking.

This article is about the new technology that is coming about,which allows you to become alive in 3D in more then one place. "holographic telepresence,it involves transmitting a three-dimensional moving image of you at each destination-allowing you to converse as if you were in the room".Imagine it,you want to stay home but you have to go to school,well you can be at both places,enjoying some television,while learning during school.
This not really school relate but it is definitely something very cool that I am sure everyone would be interested in.
I would like to see if this could work,but some of the things I am worried about are what if it stops working or does not work at all,but it would be really cool and amazing to see this in person.
It could effect me because if it does work properly I would like to use this so I can be many places at one time
