Article: Deaf to the World --- What is it about?

This article talks about the increasing trend of youngsters using their cellphones or music players on the road, as well as the use of cellphones by drivers, resulting in a greater risk of accidents. Youngsters interviewed said that these help to entertain them as they walked, and this has become a habit that is hard to kick, while being oblivious to the serious possible consequences. Recently, there have been many incidents of drivers and cyclists who just swerved away in time in order to avoid these youngsters, and an increase in summonses issued for the use of cellphones in the car.
