From Picassos to Sarcophagi, Guided by Phone Apps


Lately, there is an article on the New York Times writing to tell about an App on iPhone that works as an audio tour guide in each particular museum such as the
MoMA app from London. I went to MoMA quite often since the first year I arrived until the present. I observed that on 3rd floor gallery, visitors are not allowed to talk on the phone. With this App, it would make rules even more sensitive. Normally, if I take my cellphone out from a pocket, expectedly I would be approached by a MoMA staff. They are not going to kick me out. They just want to warn me that "No Cellphone, please." What will happen if I own an iPhone and show them that I am using this App?

It seems to be a double standard among iPhone and other phones these days.
