Push a button and turn on the television; tap a button and get a ride; click a button and “like” something. The touch of a finger can set an appliance, a car, or a system in motion, even if the user doesn't understand the underlying mechanisms or algorithms. How did buttons become so ubiquitous? Why do people love them, loathe them, and fear them? In Power Button, Rachel Plotnick traces the origins of today's push-button society by examining how buttons have been made, distributed, used, rejected, and refashioned throughout history. Focusing on the period between 1880 and 1925, when “technologies of the hand” proliferated (including typewriters, telegraphs, and fingerprinting), Plotnick describes the ways that button pushing became a means for digital command, which promised effortless, discreet, and fool-proof control. Emphasizing the doubly digital nature of button pushing—as an act of the finger and a binary activity (on/off, up/down)—Plotnick suggests that the tenets of precomputational digital command anticipate contemporary ideas of computer users. Plotnick discusses the uses of early push buttons to call servants, and the growing tensions between those who work with their hands and those who command with their fingers; automation as “automagic,” enabling command at a distance; instant gratification, and the victory of light over darkness; and early twentieth-century imaginings of a future push-button culture. Push buttons, Plotnick tells us, have demonstrated remarkable staying power, despite efforts to cast button pushers as lazy, privileged, and even dangerous.

There's only one rule in Larry's book: don't push the button. (Seriously, don't even think about it!) Even if it does look kind of nice, you must never push the button. Who knows what would happen? Okay, quick. No one is looking... push the button. Uh, oh.

Trente ans tout juste, contestataire dans l'âme, flirtant avec Xanax et autres précipices de la vie, aimant la fête et les amis, voici Alma. Pour elle l'écriture est compulsive, radicale, exutoire. Une fille d'aujourd'hui dans la France d'aujourd'hui. Une France soudain frappée d'une nouvelle canicule, d'une pénurie d'eau totale, qui exacerbe les tensions, les violences et l'égoïsme latent... Quelques jours de sécheresse et voilà le vernis de la civilisation qui s'écaille et finit par sauter. Violemment. Irritante et touchante à la fois, avec ses illusions, sa hargne, sa douceur et sa colère, Alma, elle, est prête à se battre. « Un écrivain formidable. » Marie-Hélène Leblanc – Le Monde Nouvelle édition revue et corrigée par l'auteur

This book covers three main types of agricultural systems: the use of robotics, drones (unmanned aerial vehicles), and satellite-guided precision farming methods. Some of these are well refined and are currently in use, while others are in need of refinement and are yet to become popular. The book provides a valuable source of information on this developing field for those involved with agriculture and farming and agricultural engineering. The book is also applicable as a textbook for students and a reference for faculty.

A two and ten station mechanical interlocked and manual release, illuminated, snap action, sealed, pushbutton switch assembly is being developed. Each station consists of up to six double pole miniature switch circuits, a front removable lens and lamp and unit which requires no tools to remove, and all circuitry associated with the lamp and miniature switches. A multi-station snap action switch assembly consists of two or more stations on a common frame. All stations are mechanically linked to provide the appropriate lockout, interlock and teaseproof functions. An extra momentary station shall be incorporated to provide manual release of any previously actuated station. Work was stopped about January 28, 1965 because of lack of funds. During this period all parts were fabricated and several subassemblies were built. Work remaining to be accomplished consists of final assembly, drafting, and testing of the finished units.

In Push the Button, Elizabeth Rodwell follows a battle over what interactivity will mean for Japanese television, as major media conglomerates took on independent media professionals developing interactive forms from new media. Rodwell argues that at the dawn of a potentially transformative moment in television history, content conservatism has triumphed over technological innovation. Despite the ambition and idealism of Japanese TV professionals and independent journalists, corporate media worked to squelch interactive broadcast projects such as smartphone-playable television and live-streamed and open press conferences before they caught on. Instead, interactive programming in the hands of major TV networks retained the structure and qualities of most other television and maintained conventional barriers between audiences and the actual space of broadcast. Despite their lack of success, the innovators behind these experiments nonetheless sought to expand the possibilities for mass media, national identity, and open journalism.
