Elevator company launches new lift which arrives quicker the more you press the button
The Otis Elevator Company have announced the introduction of radical new technology in their latest range of lifts which actually increases the response time of the lift the more you press the call button. Following extensive consumer research, the company identified a niche in the market as elevators across the world were reported to be completely ignoring repetitive hole pressing.
The new technology, called Pronto, uses a patented ‘impatience accelerator engine’ to increase the speed of the lift depending on how hard and how often the call button is pushed. It also has a built in voice recognition facility which responds to the phrases ‘Come on, come on!’ and ‘For God’s sake!’
I had to check the date to make sure it wasn’t April 1.
in china…everyone hits the button like the elevator works faster if you hit it 5,000 times. so what i’m saying is the china = no patience
newsbiscuit.com is a news parody site, a la The Onion… still a funny bit, though.
Is this the same company that invented the button to make the light change at the crosswalk. I think that is just a mental thing and it gives people something to do.
