I'm the father of a white cane using 5 year old. I totally agree with the article. I even had to push someone away who was about to run my son over while she was staring at her phone just this weekend.

Canadian white cane user here. If I see someone with an "I'm walking with my phone out" gait in front of me, I'll keep my stride going. I'm the one with low vision: it's unacceptable that they are willingly not seeing me.

I'm a white cane user that was taught by Visability in Western Australia, and very much agree with it all.

Interesting article. I had a question. How would blind people know that the sighted people were on their phones? Then I read the article again and have my answer, some of the people wern't completely blind.
