Hmm, only a few hours ago I was reading a book while walking to my dance
class (finally decided I had to read all the Vernor Vinge books I've
missed), and didn't crash into anything. Just a matter of good situational
awareness...
Steve Roberts (the original Technomad) used to read and write email while
cycling, so doing so while walking can't be any harder or more dangerous.

Because I can't carry 1 GB of data around on paper. I also can't create
Web sites on paper, or play Duke Nukem on paper... of course walking and
playing Duke Nukem could get a little more dangerous than reading ;-).

Well, I run Linux so I don't have these problems (I don't really miss the
colorful icons). Worst that ever happens is losing the last bookmark or
two when buggy old Netscape blows away every couple of weeks.
