Buttons, Buttons, Buttons….Oh Wait, No Buttons!
If you’ve visited The Daily Muddle before you know that I’ve referenced my friend Zach’s two websites quite a bit. Well, I’m here today to do it again. His most recent post regarding Apple’s new iPod Shuffle is just great. Zach has long been opposed to the war on buttons and I’ve agreed with him every step of the way. Buttons are not bad (especially when there is no reason not to have them on a device like the new Shuffle – why does eliminating buttons on the device make it better? It doesn’t). Thanks to Zach I thoroughly enjoyed the below video brought to you by The Onion. I think it sums up my argument that buttons make you more efficient and removing buttons from devices may make them sleeker and more sexy, but who cares when the device doesn’t actually help you do anything? It’s ironic that devices (especially mobile devices) were created to make the workforce more efficient, but then they remove the part of the product that makes you most efficient – huh?

Side note – Take a look at today’s Onion feature article. As a history buff, I found this to be absolutely hilarious.

If you have something to say...
Follow up thought about how “Simple” the buttonless formfactor is… the control scheme for the ipod shuffle looks like friggin morse code — best title I’ve read in a while.
