History of the Button

The idea

June 24, 2006 | 6 Comments

The idea: The button is interesting. It has a history, an evolution. It began as a simple on/off device and has become a central part of our human culture. We reach out to manipulate objects. We push buttons and magic things happen.

At first, the light goes on. The light goes off. But now, we find our friends and family. We order and ship presents. We launch bombs. The button is the center of our power.

This blog/resource/concept is to explore and record the history of the button. That’s all.
