A cocktail bar owner has installed a Faraday cage in his walls to prevent mobile phone signals entering the building.
Steve Tyler of the Gin Tub, in Hove, East Sussex, is hoping customers will be encouraged to talk to each other rather than looking at their screens.
He has installed metal mesh in the walls and ceiling of the bar which absorbs and redistributes the electromagnetic signals from phones and wireless devices to prevents them entering the interior of the building.
Why you hating on millennials, Bro?

Interesting that you say that. I once went on a date with a deaf woman and having cell phones to text back and forth made things a lot easier.

ASL would have been easier but yeah that's a nifty life hack.

I would have learned ASL if things had worked out for that very reason. But, it takes a fair amount of time to learn any form of sign language and the dictionaries aren't as accessible as they are for other languages. So much of the meaning of the signs comes from rather subtle movements that don't show up very well in the few dictionaries that exist.
She really revealed, just how little I use my eyes for these days.
