After having passed this device so many times on the way to my favorite post office, I thought I record it for future generations.

For everybody to see, this is a box fitted with two phones (the second one being on the other side) and a cash machine. Obviously the company behind it combined the two applications based on the usage of the same infrastructure and thought this would be a good idea. Which it might be - with the cash machine doing significantly better.
Since the usage of the two services is in terms of interaction very similar, I thought it might be quite interesting to put this academic question forward: How would a device look like which combines the two services? How would one use it? What would the user experience be like for the respective services?

hey there wow that telephone cashpoint is amazing the only down side would be that the person who is using the cash point could hear the converstion of the person on the phone so it could become not so a very good privecy thing especially if its an important call that is needed to be made .. i know alot of the population have mobiles but unfortunaly todays mobiles the battery does not last as they say they do … in some ways i can see this being a very good idea but in others not so good …Would you want someone listening in on your conversation ….
