'Remnant From The Past'

Does anyone use phone booths anymore? As a matter of fact, how many still use landlines? This booth is still standing there. I wonder if it has any use. I remember using them long, long time ago. They had a charm. When I lived in an apartment without a phone line, I remember going out in the night just to make a phone call. Later on going out again if nobody answered the first call. Sounds like a drag from today's perspective but back then it was just another normal thing to do, a nice excuse for a walk. The other day, I turned on the TV and there was an old Bond movie. James was looking for a phone booth because he needed to call M. Imagine a screenplay like this today... :D

I very much like the rundown wall, testifying of the past times. Check out the wires. The colour scheme is quite pleasing. Yellow, warm vibe, strongly supported by the magenta accent. The transparent booth's shadow does its magic, as well. A romantic remnant from the past when the word 'gadget' didn't exist.

Today, we have all this technology and, it seems that we are more in a phone call that out of it. Not sure smartphones did much for the human interactions. What is a paradox, eh? Something made to connect people alienates us. When mobile phones first came into existence, it was so weird to see someone walking and talking. People would turn and wonder if the person was off the rocker. :D

Then again, like ancient Greeks knew well - it is all about the measure. The technology of today can bury you or help you out. It all depends on your control. Do you control your smartphone, or it controls you?

Enjoy!
