走路发短信，一女子掉入喷泉中一位英国女子被拍到掉入喷泉中，因此在网络走红。
全世界的人都看了这则短视频：一位女子在公园漫步，因忙于发短信而没有抬头看路。
她径直走向喷泉并掉进了水里。
万幸的是，喷泉里的水并不深，因此她没有受伤。
然而令人不可思议的是，她从喷泉出来时仍在盯着自己的手机，并继续发她的短信。
史上最安静生日派对另一则引起网络轰动的新闻来自一个及其安静的生日派对。
为什么会如此安静呢？当然是因为大家都在盯着社交媒体！过生日的女孩在自拍，她的两个朋友在给蛋糕拍照，另一个朋友在用手机给派对录像，最后还有两个朋友死死盯着手机屏幕——可能在写这场派对是多么有趣的帖子。
哪怕抬头看一眼也好一位热恋中的男子花了数百美元雇了一架飞机，机尾挂着条幅，写着：“嫁给我好吗？”男子带着女友来沙滩来享用浪漫的野餐。
俩人坐在男子事先踩好点的地方——飞机会从这里经过。
然而可悲的是，他的女友并没有看到他花大价钱准备的求婚。
为什么呢?即便男子一直在提示女孩，但女孩并没有抬头，因为她正在发着一条长长的短信。
