Cell phone booth: huh?

Filed in Wacky Gadgets
It’s not like you see many phone booths anymore, and even fewer uses for them. With cell phones in the pockets of almost every person that can walk, it’s no wonder that such is the case. And with that, we introduce the hybrid of then-and-now: The cell phone booth. Sure, there’s a benefit of privacy that you normally don’t get when using your cell phone in public, but at what cost? I don’t think there are many people willing to look this stupid for that kind of privacy. Why not just step into a quiet, unoccupied room? For those freaking about possible production of such a wacky device, fear not. This is simply an artist’s project, and one that is intended to get people to shut up while on their phone in public.

These actually exist… in Japan. I saw a few of them when I was there a couple of months ago. They look just like a typical Japanese phone booth - except they have no phone. I guess it’s a way to get your private conversation off of the street.

Oh, freakin get over it. People talk in public all the time - if you don’t want to hear other people talking, stay home. The world is not my phone booth, but it’s not your sanctuary, either.
