the help button

[emchy]

do you ever look at your computer adn wonder about the philosophical minds who put help buttons everywhere, buttons that comfort, like "home" with the definitive "end" and the encouraging "pause/break"

and then the web and program designs, the optimistic "view" and "favorites" like going to a website or a document is like picking a flavor of ice cream. "help" is present again.

does it mean my machine really wants to "help" me
or is all of this encouragement merely theoretical.
