Human Factors
The taxi instructions from Ground were; 'Taxi to 1R via B; D; cross 26R.' We made an incorrect right turn on C. While on Charlie facing west a Company aircraft approached opposite direction at a fairly high rate of speed. The opposite direction aircraft would have made contact; wing to wing if he would have continued. We stopped immediately and set the parking brake and said something on frequency. The opposite direction aircraft turned hard left and avoided our wings contacting each other. As the First Officer; I should have been more proactive in monitoring the aircraft position during taxi out. I believe I was heads down on my 10-9 for a few seconds during this critical time.
B737-700 First Officer reported a near-collision occurred after turning onto the wrong taxiway.
