A bookstore in Wyoming is Watch Soul Onlinebringing its customers back to the dark age, before the soft glow of phones and laptops illuminated everyone's faces.

Wind City Books, a book/coffee shop in Casper, Wyoming, has been getting attention (online, oddly enough) for a sign posted in the front of its shop, telling customers to put their electronics away.
