The Dangers of Texting While Walking Certification

The implications of texting while walking are often overlooked. We all know the dangers of texting and driving, but texting and walking can be just as harmful. Accidents and other problems caused by texting while walking are becoming increasingly common, particularly because we lose awareness of our surroundings and are not as alert as we should be.

This course looks at both the readily apparent and the hidden dangers most commonly associated with texting while walking, including our increased vulnerability to accidents, the physical effects of the habit, its impact on our social skills, and how it makes us easy targets for crime.
