In 1905 the first outdoor phone booth was installed in Cincinatti, USA and has since then played a significant impact on all cultures around the world. A basic utility. Remember when you had a date and the other one didn't show up on time? You ran into a phone booth to make a call, you probably got his mom on the phone who told you that she would expecting your phonecall and had to pass on an advanced apology and the following message: that he would be a bit later because he missed the bus or ...
In the age of mobile phone technology the phone booth is quickly being relegated as a thing of the past.
The phone booth is being removed fast, so fast that you don't even have a notice that it's happening.
They've inspired countless artists and probably you. Next to making a phonecall, a lot of you had their first kiss in a phone booth, wrote "...was here" with a key, kept yourself warm in winter or smoked you first joint, right. Every time when I see a phone booth I am thinking about the past, unfortunatly I can't remember my last call out of a phone booth. Do you? Did we ever think that phone booths would make there last call?
How will I ever explain my son where Clark Kent changed into Superman?
