As if texting and email weren't enough to capture people's attention as they are walking or driving, now Pokémon Go is creating yet another reason to take your eyes off the road or not watch where you're walking in the airport, at the mall or on the street.

It's only been available for a week in the United States, but Pokémon Go has become the latest technology craze to mesmerize gamers of all ages.

The game allows players to cross over from the fantasy world of Pokémon to explore the real world as they look for creatures with names such as Diglett, Ponyta and Doduo, which can appear anywhere  on someone's shoulder, along a walkway, in a trashcan or behind a light pole.
