Everyday things.. lifts/elevators


DO DC - what are these?

well ?

Door open Door Close.... but how would you know. Do you have time to stop and think about it? Surely you could just print words 'Open' and 'Close' or use icons. Engineers of the 60's/70's have a lot to answer for...

Some people think that a lot of door close buttons don't actually do anything and they are just an illusion of control.

indeed. I know some offices have door close buttons disabled as people were cutting off people before they could reach the elevator.
