History of the Button
 We'd like to begin by saying thanks for the snooze button. Since 1956, it has enabled generations of sleepyheads to wake slowly into the day. We'd also like to acknowledge the button that served on the first point-and-click camera. "You press the button, we do the rest." Oh, and let's not forget the buttons laboring on the front lines of every arcade across this land. Fire! Snap! They've taken maniacal pressing over the years and we salute them for it. There's so much more and we're running out of time! Thanks, quickly, to the remote control buttons, the crosswalk buttons (whether they work or not), and Apple's first onscreen "buttons." Hooray! Last but not least, there's the actor-buttons: the button that scored a starring role on "Lost," the entire cast from Willy Wonka's "Wonkavator," and the buzzer-style warhorses from game shows like "Jeopardy!" To all the world of buttons, we say thanks. Life as we know it wouldn't exist without you.
