Yellow Pages on every corner for directions

40 points posted to Environment, New Product Ideas by tammylhoward 06/30/08 **REVIEWED**

Cut out the printing of the yellow page book and make a electric book on the corner of the street for directions and locations of stores, gas station, and ect. This would also help with triffic and weather. This would be like a phone booth.

And, like a phone booth, it would last four minutes before being wrecked by the local wildli...people.

Have you seen how long a phonebook lasts in a typical phone booth? At least the expense is minimal with the placement/replacement of paper books. An acutal computer? Ha!!! Not to mention the added costs of power and maintenance to operate these.

No, the way of the future is that everyone will eventually have this information readily available to them on their cell phone (or whatever wireless pocket device is the current fad).

Hi Tammylhoward:
This is similar to your other idea, which is a great idea ... but something that we don't work on at Dell. You may want to send this idea to the folks at Yellow Book (or Yellow Pages). They do a great job with online already, and may be interested in this idea as well. Thanks!
