Rat: Okay, everyone, coming up is our first item of historical significance. It's called a 'telephone booth' and people would step into this box to contact other people. Little Girl: Haha. I gotta post that on Facebook. Rat: And here we have what was known as a'Mailbox.' People would put their communications in it, and they would be delivered to someone a few days later. Little Boy: A few days? hahaha.... Rat: And over here we have what is known as a 'book.' Little Boy: Whoa. What is it? Rat: Well, it has words printed on paper you read them to learn things. Little Girl: Sorry, what now? I was checking my Twitter feed. Goat: My, these tours depress me. Little Boy 2: And who's the homeless guy? Rat: That's called a 'rock star.' They used to sell music for money. Little boy: Haha, music is free bro.
I’d especially like to see the return of phone booths; people might get back into the habit of not forcing the rest of the room to hear their conversation.:Maybe a soundproofed booth with a charging station to power up your cell phone while you talk. What do you think?
