We need privacy. We need “our” privacy. Some students from the Royal College of Art in London proposed this:

“A series of objects that highlight the privacy we sacrifice when using mobile technological devices in public spaces. Users of the wearable mobile phone scarf can venture into public spaces confident that if the need to compose a private text message were to arise the object could be pulled over the face to create an isolated environment.”

PS: If you prefer a more traditional way, you still go for a cellphone booth.

UPDATE (June 26, 2006) ― This may be a trend. A trend pushed upfront by design students from the St-Martin College of design, trying to recapture a bit of their privacy when using their phone. The phone stealth scarf opened the show. There’s now one another project, called the Hulger. Both ideas are obviously built upon the same concept of bubbling in public places.
