Look both ways

Our entire world has changed over the past few decades. Not only have we seen vast advances in technology, but we have also become very dependent on it. Additionally, I have seen some drastic changes in how people interact with each other, how people feel about issues, and how they conduct their lives. There are quite a number of factors that have created these changes in people.

One of the things I have noticed, very simply — is how we cross a street as a pedestrian.

Recently, I was tootling down the street, at whatever was the speed limit, and suddenly I came to a crosswalk. There was a woman pushing a stroller, who set out to cross the street. I was coming toward that crosswalk and was not going too fast, so I was able to stop easily. However, I noticed that she did not look either way when she crossed within that crosswalk.
