The Phone Booth Is Back Minus The Phone by Samanth Jonas (Fox News)
Posted by Ed and Lois
Cell phones may be ruling our lives, but at least they don’t have to ruin our dinners and study breaks anymore.
With newer, fancier cell phones continually hitting the market and the FCC considering allowing the use of mobiles on airplanes, there is once again an oasis of quiet to be found: restaurants and libraries across the country are installing cell-phone booths to give Americans peace from annoying chatter — and the privacy to make a call.
“Cell phones are all over the place. Everyone always has someone to talk to, and having the option to use a cell-phone booth makes it easier for someone to be polite,” said League. “Nobody wants to hear someone talking on a cell phone while they are dining.”
Studies confirm that people are also sick of not being able to talk in private without being subjected to the elements, or having to hear toilets flush in the background.
