Good Day World!
There's something deeply disturbing about grade-schoolers, teenagers, 20-somethings, 30-somethings, and 40- somethings walking around in public like zombies glued to a game on their smart phones.
Practically overnight, Americans have embraced a new app for their smartphones - Pokemon Go.
The augmented reality activity is now the biggest mobile game in U.S. History, according to a report from Survey/Monkey.
Within three days of the games release 23 million Americans were playing it...and running into problems.

And of course let's not forget about the zombie reference I made earlier...
If you thought people walking and texting at the same time was a recipe for disaster, guess what? Pokemon Go players are even more zombie-like!
It's just a game, right? That is, until reality hits and something bad happens.
Time for me to walk on down the road...
