Placebo Buttons The Misconception: All buttons placed around you do your bidding. The Truth: Many public buttons are only there to comfort you. You press the doorbell button, you hear the doorbell ring. You press the elevator button, it lights up. You press the button on the vending machine, a soft drink comes rattling down the chute. Your whole life, you’ve pressed buttons and been rewarded.

Maybe there’s a man inside who pulls out the can of soda and puts it in the chute. You just don’t know, and that’s how conditioning works. The problem here is that some buttons in modern life don’t actually do anything at all.

Placebo buttons are a lot like superstitions, or ancient rituals. Sources:

With bank rates currently bottomed out, it’s hard to imagine compound interest raising anyone much of a fortune these days. Modest, that is, at first. One suspects they’d have rather gotten a new squash court. The notion of a “Methuselah” trust has a long history—and as with many peculiar notions, Benjamin Franklin got there first. Franklin’s plans soared beyond a mere century, though. It was the opening salvo of an immense legal battle.
