Have You Seen This Picture?

Kevin Kelly has this pic on his Street Use site and sez:

“As far as I can tell this is not a put-on, or hoax, but a legitimate innovation born of desperation. And I believe others have discovered the same solution. (I’m always surprised more people don’t use some kind of hands-free contraption.) If you know more about this particular picture (forwarded to me by Alexander Rose) please email me.”

I have a vague memory that I’ve seen this image before and it was a joke. That phone looks like it’s not from the present century. Does anyone else recognize it? I can’t imagine it’s for real, but then, this posting on Street Use is:

This is some would-be street person’s way of reducing clutter on his desk: creating duct tape holders underneath it. It’s a slippery slope from here to rubberbanding a phone to your head.

Digg!
