or vice versa..I'd say they both present a sizable slippery problem. You press a button, the button lights up, whatever happens behind the scenes the curtain rises to an inviting open door to take you places, vertically that is. Never before I had thought about this but an elevator controller presents quiet a twisted problem. Just imagine people who are standing by the elevators, who, like me, believe that if you press a lit elevator button again, and again, and harder, would somehow translate to porting their urgent travel needs to the elevator controller. And off course sometimes just at the instance of your pressing the already lit button, the door opens to a ding, like ta da!... it's the magic touch of that divine individual that summoned the powers of calculations to just lay humble in his honor and drive the shaft to quickly meet his need...
Data structures and algorithms are complicated and life needs to be simple and simple is beautiful. Efficiency in life is aesthetically pleasing and closer to purity, but difficult and inefficiency is ugly and results ultimately, in a complete breakdown of system and ...sadly is easier to attain. The simplicity in complexity is the art of making life aesthetically pleasing and beautiful, that's why the most complicated of algorithms are just beautifully implemented and the most evolved minds are capable of expressing the intricate ideas in simplest of ways - the art of knowledge to make rest of us mere mortals observe in awe and bask in; hey at least I am one of the species, where that intelligent specimen came from.
