Holding a smartphone while walking on the way to somewhere isn't being disconnected from reality.
Wearing an Oculus Rift with headphones on while walking is being disconnected from reality.
Phones aren't magical shields from the outside world. I sometimes wish they were, but they're not.

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;45986679]Should also have a lane for drink drivers, drivers under the influence of drugs and speed demons as well because that sounds like a fantastic fucking idea[/QUOTE]
Are you kidding me I'd fucking love a lane for "speed demons"
I remember reading a webcomic that compared getting likes on Facebook to shooting up heroin.

"but i was just checking the time"
"no you get over there in that sidewalk!"[/QUOTE]

They should call these pathways "walkie-talkies".
It's more fun to push people out of the way and give them a dirty look than give them their own lane.
For added cruelty potential, the texting lane should also be the one with the missing bricks, gutters, and manholes.
I was expecting sidewalks that were smartphones.
