Buttons to press when you get bored

Why do you, like everyone else, suffer from boredom occaisonally even in the age of TV, videogames, the internet, and other great time-occupiers? Its because you dont have enough buttons to press!

There should be buttons everywhere, on the walls, ceiling and other surfaces like in Mr Willy Wonkas great glass elevator although not necessarily in an elevator but definately in your bedroom or wherever. These buttons could do allsorts but theres no reason for them to do anything particularly useful, they would just be there as an extra source of interactive entertainment when you are feeling understimulated. A lot of them will be wired (or with modern technology wireless with radiowaves, bluetooth, etc) to things like audio devices or LEDs to make sound "blips" or "zaps" and make coloured lights flash in your own desired pattern.

Before you hold out your baked potatoe, im aware that there are already interactive homes with buttons with useful remote functions that can e.g. open curtains and stuff. What i am talking about here is a panoply of buttons that relieve boredom rather than buttons to save you time with specific tasks. It would be just another source of interactive entertainment. It could also be used to impress your friends when you invite them over. It could make conversation more interesting as you augment it with effects at the touch of a button. Want to start a little pub-style quiz in your own home with your friends? Get ready to press the "UVAVU" and "IRANU" buttons (which you will understand if you happen to be british).
