Public phone booths are definitely a thing of the past. They still exist, but in an age of omnipresent cell phones, they look like the ultimate anachronism.
Like Isaac Asimov’s robots and Multivacs. Once they were a definite option, now we know that we have moved into a totally different direction.
Btw, I’m still reading and enjoying Asimov. From a pirated (because not available for sale) “Complete Robot” I have moved via “Caves of Steel” to “The Naked Sun”, both novels bought (because available).
The Song of the Day is “I Wish I Were Twins” by Coleman Hawkins. See a video on YouTube.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen any public phone booths for ages! Perhaps they still exist in airports and train stations, but I don't know, as I haven't been inside any of these facilities for several years. The times, they is a'changin' and I find it hard to keep up! I like your diptych. I've never seen public phones with red buttons!
