Today is National Buttons Day. Now I've talked about counting buttons before, but today's about the buttons themselves. Also an obvious oversight on my part is that I only talked about the buttons on clothing. Electrical buttons are a thing too.
I actually kinda miss electronics having as many buttons. There is kinda a half rumor that the big reason touch screens got big is because Steve Jobs had Koumpounophobia, a fear of buttons, and apparently this is also why he went for turtlenecks. He just had enough money and influence to make the industry accommodate his condition. That being said, touch screens are not practical for a number of other conditions including those that limit visibility or motor control and completely de-sanderising button controls for modern elections is a horrible idea from an accessibility standpoint.
