Texting can make you drive like a drunk. Now a new study shows that texting can also make you walk like a robot.

As pedestrians busily tap and flick, they swerve more, walk more slowly and move their heads, arms and torsos in a stiff, graceless fashion that makes them more prone to falling when confronted with an obstacle.
