How We Connect

Texting While Walking, Casey Neistat

Digital tools are deeply woven into the fabric of our everyday lives — so deeply, in fact, that we are often unaware of the effects our digital behavior can have on ourselves and others. Seeking to shed some light on this phenomenon, this video offers viewers a wake-up call about the dangers of texting while walking. Should we really be so quick, it asks, to engage in a practice that can, at times, be both unsafe and ill mannered? Casey Neistat is a filmmaker who lives in New York City.
