Have you ever wondered why elevators have mirrors?

As buildings grew taller with industrial development, the use of elevators became necessary. The elevators at that time were quite slow and often the people who used them complained.

The engineers of the time began to think of a solution to the problem. An engineer expressed the view that elevators are not slow but because people do not have something to work on the route, they get the feeling that time does not pass! Thus the use of mirrors was proposed and the first tests showed that the complaints were significantly reduced, so that their use was established. People have something to do along the way and thus overcome the psychological reef of inaction!

At the same time security reasons require the use of mirrors. The daily use of the elevator has integrated it in our daily life and many times we enter abstract. But what if, for some reason, the booth is not behind the door? There is a risk of falling into the well. Thus the existence of a mirror makes it easier for us to perceive the existence of the chamber in contrast to the dark well.

Many people also have claustrophobia and being confined to such a small space upsets them. With the use of mirrors, the space "doubles" and alleviates the feeling of claustrophobia.
