A smartphone zombie is a pedestrian who walks slowly and without attention to their surroundings because they are focussed upon their smartphone. This is now a significant safety hazard as distracted pedestrians cause accidents. Cities such as Chongqing and Antwerp have introduced special lanes for smartphone users to help direct and manage them. In 2014, China had over 5 hundred million smartphone users and more than half of them have a phone addiction. In Chongqing, the government built a cellphone sidewalk, separating the phone users and the non-cell phone users. In Hong Kong, they are called ''dai tau juk'' (the head-down tribe). Texting pedestrians may trip over curbs, walk out in front of cars and bump into other walkers. The field of vision of a smartphone user is estimated to be just 5% of a normal pedestrian's. An app which uses the phone's camera to make it seem transparent can be used to provide some warning of hazards. ==Gallery== File:Smartphone Zombies.png File:Texting in the crosswalk.jpg File:Blonde woman with tattoos texting on street.jpg ==See also== *mobile phone overuse *pedestrian etiquette *zombie walk 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Smartphone zombies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
