November 18, 1963 Bell Telephone introduced dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF ) dialing replacing traditional pulse dialing with Touch-Tone. The first push-button telephone went into service that day. Phreaking at 2600 hertz followed shortly. Pictured here is a Cap'n Crunch Bosun Whistle. Dig It!

In the works for years, a suicide machine will soon be tested in Switzerland. At the push of a button, the pod becomes filled with nitrogen gas, which rapidly lowers oxygen levels, causing its user to fall unconscious and die within a minutes.

Do you push the button?

In front of you, there is a button. If you push it 1 year of human contribution to global warming is reversed. But, 10 random people are diagnosed with lethal cancer which they won't recover from. These people wouldn't have gotten the disease if it weren't for you pushing the button, and there is no treatment that will cure them.

Do you push the button? And if so, how many times?

WYR push this button or not?
  • If you push the button, then in 24 hours your family, friends, acquaintances, strangers and all humans around the world will know your face and seek to kill you on sight. This will last for a month.
    If you survive, you won't be accused of anything bad that you did after you pressed the button, everyone forgets about your bounty and life goes back to normal, but you also win 5 billion dollars tax free.
  • If you don't push the button, nothing happens and life goes on.

Are red telephone booths still everywhere in the UK? Do they still have phones in them? Is there a push to remove them from service and/or convert them to something else?

The iconic red telephone booths, are they still around and what will their fate be ultimately? Do people generally want them to remain in place, given how iconic they are, or remove them from streets given they are basically useless today?

Or an option C, convert them to something else? In NY, they converted many payphones into public Wi-Fi hotspots, perhaps the same can be done with some of the red booths in the UK, without ruining the look of course. And maybe on the inside there can be maps and other information for tourists, maybe even a standing desk so someone could actually do work there if they wanted.
