The power of the button (Interview)

And don't change the core feature of a car. If the wheel turns, that's what makes the wheels move. Don't make the wheel turn do the turn signal. That would be silly, right? Keep the common feature set of that in place. I'm thinking of the Cybertruck. The Cybertruck is not so much anti this, but the turn... Have either of you ever driven a Cybertruck? No. Okay. I've driven it one time.

A friend of mine has one. And it's just so crazy because... I don't know what the steering is called. I'm not a fan so that I know all the terms and whatnot, but the steering, the wheel does not turn like a normal wheel or traditional wheel, I should say, where you have to turn, turn, turn to make your left hand or right hand turn.

It is very much just a very little, and if you can see the camera, I'm just doing a little motion. It's not like big, big. Like a race car style. Yeah, it's very, and it's adaptive, but to drive it, you have to relearn how to drive it. When you take your foot off the gas, which is a button, right? A pedal is a button. It's not some sort of like computer screen switch. It's literally a foot pedal.

And it's a toggle for you to analog how to make the vehicle move forward or stop or whatever. As soon as you take your foot off the accelerator, it begins to decelerate. Not like a vehicle, like a non-cybertruck. It begins to brake, basically. It's a... Basically, the way the engine works, it's a natural brake.

So you actually don't have to brake much in a Cybertruck, which is kind of cool, but you have to relearn how to drive. And I guess my bringing that up because sometimes you'll change the common feature set of what are typically analog buttons or pedals or whatnot, and you have to relearn how to use them in this new modern way because somebody decides to change it.

I got to imagine color matters, right? Like certain buttons should be certain colors. Certain buttons should be concealed behind a piece of glass and a key. You must turn the key to push the button or turn a key to open the thing to be able to turn the key to push the button. Right. No Homer Simpson moments. Yes, exactly. Or other moments, but sure.

You're so right, though, about a lot of the activity we do in a day is pushing a button. I wonder if it would be a good exercise or maybe not for a podcast to imagine most of a day. I'm like, what's the very first thing you do in the morning that you might push a button? Well, I have a toothbrush that has a button that begins to, I don't know, vibrate. I don't know what it does.

It does something to make my teeth get better. You know, it's my doctor recommended it. It's a dentist approved, of course. So that's at least one early morning button. Early morning button. I think maybe a next button might be like the lever from my shower. Like, is that a button or is it a lever? Are levers buttons? What do you think?

Let me just say, if I had to push a button to turn my shower on, I would love it if I can just push a button that says, I'm just guessing at a temperature, 100 degrees Fahrenheit, of course. Or maybe give me 92 degrees. I want a slightly cooler shower because I don't want to be so hot. I would love that button where it's like a precision button versus like a...
