Question of the Day.............

............ Why do elevators even NEED music?

The elevators in even some of the world's tallest buildings, the Taipie 101 in Taiwan or the Sears Tower in Chicago for example, can reach the top in a minute or less. It is within the realm of possibility that most people can amuse themselves for a minute or two without having music piped in to entertain them. Plus nowadays with MP3 players, iPods, the random singing crazy guy, gossipy office receptionists, the flirting couple in corner, etc, enough entertainment can be found to keep us from being bored for a few moments.
.............. and second question of the day......
Have you ever actually HEARD music in an elevator?

Think about it. I don't think I ever have although once I heard piped in advertising for local businesses. And once there was a trio of teenagers singing some boy band song. And of course there are always those who like to whistle..........but piped in music? Not that I can recall. Of course I am usually too busy planning my escape route in case in abruptly stops.......
