PARAPAR@`TEXT`Why We Hid the Buttons Life has enough distractions. Kids screaming, boss interrupting, boss screaming, and so forth. When you sit down to read, whether from a book or a computer, the last thing you need are unnecessary distractions. The computer industry has been slow to accept this. Look at almost any modern computer program and youll find a clutter of buttons, icons, and menus. Theyre there when you need them, and thats great. But when youre trying to read, theyre just another distraction. Thats why we let the buttons disappear. You know where they are, and theyre still available to you at all times. Theyre just not in your face all the time. styl`55!I 5!I 5!I 5link`
