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.--Book flap Geschichte gnd Geschichte 1880-1925 gnd Objekt (Philosophie) (DE-588)4172302-8 gnd Macht (Motiv) (DE-588)4168422-9 gnd Sozialpsychologie (DE-588)4055891-5 gnd Macht (DE-588)4036824-5 gnd Klingel (DE-588)4195587-0 gnd Knopf (DE-588)4246280-0 gnd Befehl (Informatik) (DE-588)4458688-7 gnd Remote control Psychological aspects History Electric switchgear Psychological aspects History Social psychology Industrial revolution Object (Philosophy) Schalter (DE-588)4138841-0 gnd Automation (DE-588)4003957-2 gnd Fernsteuerung (DE-588)4016862-1 gnd Industrial revolution fast Object (Philosophy) fast Social psychology fast Keyboarding Psychological aspects History Power (Philosophy) Technikgeschichte (Fach) (DE-588)4139574-8 gnd Infrastruktur (DE-588)4026944-9 gnd INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION (CULTURAL HISTORY) eng (ETHUDK)000044093 ethudk SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY (SOCIOLOGY) eng (ETHUDK)000057294 ethudk Electric switchgear Psychological aspects History (RERO)B027865498 Industrial revolution (RERO)B012772140 Keyboarding Psychological aspects History (RERO)B027865499 Object (Philosophy) (RERO)B013974011 Power (Philosophy) (RERO)B009843962 Remote control Psychological aspects History (RERO)B027865500 Social psychology (RERO)B009791787 1880-1925 (RERO)B026993567 rero Automatisation (RERO)A021016126 rero Psychologie sociale (RERO)A021002303 rero Révolution industrielle (RERO)A021008719 rero History fast u SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY (SOCIOLOGY) eng 316.6 nebis E1 u INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION (CULTURAL HISTORY) eng 930.85,4*INDU nebis E1 u SOZIALPSYCHOLOGIE (SOZIOLOGIE) ger 316.6 nebis E1 u PSYCHOLOGIE SOCIALE (SOCIOLOGIE) fre 316.6 nebis E1 u RÉVOLUTION INDUSTRIELLE (HISTOIRE DE LA CULTURE) fre 930.85,4*INDU nebis E1 u INDUSTRIELLE REVOLUTION (KULTURGESCHICHTE) ger 930.85,4*INDU nebis E1 https://unisg.link/hm00669189 Inhaltsverzeichnis BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 Metadata rights reserved rero Stoppsignal FRED nebis DS zbzmon202008l parz zbzswk202009g taub idszbz Z2 UFSW-201901 nebis EN E19ANH-2019 nebis E5 082 E01-20181029 E1901 E19-20190225 IDSBB A100 A100 100FM UBH JM 7159 NELA1001905 IDSBB B429 B429 429HB MfK MUS 6534 - GST NELB4291908 IDSBB B400 B400 400H5 BeM RFA 93104 NELB4001902 IDSSG 100 1- Plotnick Rachel Verfasser aut IDSSG 856 40 https://unisg.link/hm00669189 Inhaltsverzeichnis IDSBB 100 1- Plotnick Rachel Verfasser aut NEBIS 100 1- Plotnick Rachel Verfasser aut RERO 100 1- Plotnick Rachel (IDREF)235837067 aut NEBIS EAD50 https://opac.nebis.ch/objects/pdf03/e01_978-0-262-03823-2_01.pdf Titelblatt und Inhaltsverzeichnis VIEW pdf IDSBB DSV51 DSV01 B400 http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/006858748/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis
