Ashzification Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I had a discussion with my brother in law this evening. He swears that not everything (that's mechanical/technological) has a button (switch/toggle/etc.) Anyone know of anything that doesn't have a button?

Aegis Fate Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I can't think of a single thing, hell even Apple products have buttons, and they stress the minimalist approach way too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazDude2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 The XBox 360 has no buttons as such. It uses touch sensitive panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylord Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 The XBox 360 has no buttons as such. It uses touch sensitive panels. Same with the PS3. A fridge. A door. A thermostat. A Lada, without any extras doesn't have any buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazDude2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 For that matter, neither do pulleys or gears. I once built a robot without buttons. It was awesome because you had to take out the battery to stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakachu Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 My router has no buttons. it does. it has a reset button, probably hidden inside a very small hole. on that note though, many network hubs and switches have no buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylord Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Some Apple mouses don't have any buttons, only a kind of sensor to detect when you "click". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icyblue Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Same with the PS3. A fridge. A door. A thermostat. A Lada, without any extras doesn't have any buttons. Some doors do, as the locks sometimes have to be pushed in. And Ps3/360's have buttons as well on the main console they're just hidden cleverly. The 60gb version has it just grazing over the top whereas the 120gb version has a more visible one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adlersch Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Not all machines have buttons. Some things turn on when you plug them in, and only turn off when they have no power being supplied to them. They have no activation, as their 'activation' is power. An example of this would be an autoconfiguring digital clock, by itself. Not counting the alarms or radio or anything that could come with it, the clock itself works on its own and cannot be turned off until you stop powering it. So while a digital clock can have buttons to set alarms and such, an autoconfiguring one that sets its own time when you plug it in, changes to daylight savings time and back on its own, and only turns on or off based on if it is being powered has no buttons. That is saying the clock itself, not any additions that may come with it (Such as alarms). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse95 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 My AC doesn't have buttons nor do those cool sinks that auto send out water and toilets that auto-flush when you walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DELTALON.exe Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Same with the PS3. A fridge. A door. A thermostat. A Lada, without any extras doesn't have any buttons. The PS3 Slim has buttons, and last I checked the original PS3 has a switch on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xylord Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I have something to ask: What the hell is a Lada? Well, there's Lamborghini, there's Ferrari, there's Rolls Royce, and just then, there's Lada. A Lada is a combustion engine, wheels, (crappy) seats and a bit of cheap glass and plastic. No buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, don't worry, this is the kind of thing that you probably don't want to show you know in public. Russian machinery at it's finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoho Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Lada does have buttons, a whole bunch of them actually. My chipcard reader has no buttons: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
