This convinces me that it's not enough for buttons to do what they're intended to do, they should also look good and feel good, and make you want to use them. It's a good thing those 15 buttons are NOT active, coz I feel like washing my hands just looking at this disgusting panel.

What an interesting point about buttons going beyond their call of duty and flirting with the pleasure-for-pleasure's sake domain. I used to work with toddlers and I'm sure I don't have to mention how exciting it is to get to "push the button" on anything...even this dirty-grandma-toy lookin' panel of off-whitness.
what an interesting little blog here...
