You meet them every day on the sidewalk. They walk slowly, with their heads down and they will not look at you. They are living in a different world, a world of the mobile phone!Many people are complaining about these mobile phone zombies because they slowly, making it difficult for other people to use the sidewalk. Chongqing and a few other cities have come up with an idea to try to solve the problem. They’ve divided sidewalks up into lanes(线路)：one lane for mobile-zombies and one lane for everyone else. The experiment hasn’t worked out too well, since most mobile-zombies don’t even notice the lanes.I have another suggestion for the problem. In Shanghai, we have blind paths. They are made of small raised tiles (凸起的瓷砖) that help blind people follow a straight line. Perhaps the same way could be used for mobile-zombies. A lane with a rough surface would allow people to concentrate on their mobile phones and still know they are walking in a straight line. Of course, I have a further suggestion. At the end of the lane would be a large hole where all the mobile-zombies would disappear into the center of the earth!Well, I don’t think my suggestion is going to be taken, but I don’t think special lanes for mobile-zombies will work either. I think it’s just a better idea to remind people that sidewalks are shared space and they should think of others when they are using their mobile phones. ( )31.
