Gadget Watch - Portable phone box

Do you walk around on your mobile wishing that people couldn’t hear your most secret and important phone calls? Are you on the lookout for an umbrella that you don’t have to hold? Do you just fancy carrying a big box around on your back? If you answered yes to any of those and even if you didn’t, you’ll love this gadget…even if it is just to point at the silly man sporting it. The portable cell phone booth by Nick Rodriguez is not only a genius way to talk in private, I’ve also decided that it’s a great rain shelter. Maybe the next model could come with windscreen wipers as standard?
Although I jest, this isn’t really supposed to be a gadget. Nick is a sculptor that wanted to prove a point and says that "The Portable Cellular Phone Booth provides a visual image of social
sacrifices and opportunities to interact with one another lost due to
our own self-involvement."…hmmmm, before we get all deep and meaningful, check out this amusing video of Nick doing the rounds in his invention.
