Captive audience

While attending a conference in this brutalist fortress in San Francisco, I found no escape from screens even in the elevator. God forbid that any human should spend a minute without digital information and entertainment! When I looked closer, I found that the elevator screen system has the perfect name.

  1. Good one. Though the “claritev” advertisement is a bit perplexing. My first thought was that it is a lottery system for healthcare decision making. Either that, or some sort of healthcare bingo perhaps?

  2. Last time that happened to me was in a hotel... And the elevator was speaking all the time! :(

  3. I would have been a wise guy and taped a Typewriter Manifesto over the screen.
