Elevators

Today I shall be doing a post solely regarding elevators. Elevators are a vertical transport vehicle that efficiently moves people or goods between floors and buildings. They are generally powered by electric motors that either drive traction cables and counterweight systems, or pump hydraulic fluid to raise a cylindrical piston.

Right now you must be wondering why am I writing a post about elevators. Well I'm truly fascinated by it. Not by its mechanical process, however by its super-ability to make everyone of its passengers quiet after they step in it. I'm sure you have seen this before somewhere or rather, a group of people chit chatting whiles waiting for the elevator to arrive & once the door swings open and everyone steps in, its dead silence. No talking, no whispering, no chit chatting. Nothing, no noise what so ever. How intriguing.

We Malaysian aren't really known to be shy, we aren't known to be quiet too yet this happens. Why? Is it because we just don't want other people to listen in on what we say? I don't think so.
So what is it that makes elevators keep our mouths shut? Any ideas anyone? Drop your comments on why do you think this happens. I would really love to know what the rest of you think. Cheerio.
