    Plotnick, an associate professor of cinema and media studies at Indiana University in Bloomington, is the leading expert on buttons and how people interact with them.

    I like that being a leading expert on buttons is a profession that exists in this world. You go Rachel Plotnick.

      Leading expert on buttons says to use buttons?

      Mild shock

      Seriously though they are needed for many features especially cars or eyes away

      I’m just shocked that’s a cinema and media studies professor. I’d’ve expected human factors engineering or psychology, especially at such a psych school

        Professors don’t always teach in their actual area of expertise. I had a German language professor whose PhD was in Philosophy and activity published in that field, in English, German and French journals. It does seem like an odd combination, but probably not a lot of students signing up for a class in usability of buttons, even from the fields you would expect to study them .
