' let people on and off the train. The problem is that the man threw

A lot of people are so busy looking at their
smartphones that they often walk into lampposts and
hurt themselves. The problem is so big that Brick Lane
in London is now a "safe text" zone. Every lamppost
in the street is covered in soft padding just in case
somebody walks into it.
Most of ·us use map apps on our phones to get to the places we want
to go. But sometimes, these apps get a little confused. A demolition
company (a company that tears down buildings) used a map app to find
a house. So far so good, right? Well, no. The map led the workers to the
wrong house, a house one block away from the correct house in a town
in Texas,.The workers tore the house down. Imagine the owner's reaction
when she arrived back home later that day!
