Parece que en Nueva York va a ser prohibido manejar bicicletas, caminar o lo que sea, mientras usan accesorios electronicos (Ipods, Videojuegos e inclusive celulares). Esto se debe a que se requiere de mucha atención para usar estos artilugios mientras se deambula por ahi, lo que puede provocar un accidente. Esto solo es una propuesta de un senador de Nueva York para hacer esta ley efectiva. Habrá que ver que suecede ya que esto no gustará a la mayoría de los ciudadanos que dependen de la tecnología... He aqui el artículo en Inglés:

Advertising A new proposal would make it illegal for New Yorkers to walk, jog or bike across the street while using your tech gadgets. "If you're so involved in your electronic device that you can't see or hear a car coming, this is indicative of a larger problem that requires some sort of enforcement beyond the application of common sense," state Senator Carl Kruger said.
And it is not just iPods. Kruger's bill also would ban using cellphones, Blackberries, video games or other electronic devices when crossing the street. Kruger said a 21-year-old man in his district was killed last fall when he stepped off the curb at the busy intersection while listening to music. And a 23-year-old iPod listener was killed on Jan. 11. The proposed fine is US$100.
