Debbie Schlussel: Europe's Dumbest New Invention: Buttonless Elevators
You type in your floor on a lobby keypad, but once you get in, you can't change your mind. You're stuck. Today's Wall Street Journal has a cover story on it.
Another dumb creation of Europe that's coming here. FOX News Channel's NewsCorp building in New York already has them, and even Rupert Murdoch is complaining.
The Journal dubs the elevators, designed and produced by the European Schindler Group, "Schindler's Lifts." Haha, you're so punny. Not.
Getting rid of elevator operators was a step forward. Getting rid of elevator buttons is a step backward.
