Yeah, but before screens were commonplace and cheap, you didn't see as many of this style - where you request a floor, and it tells you which elevator to take to get there. Not that you see a lot even now. One feature I really liked was one I encountered at a Mexican resort (on an Otis elevator, so they do have the technology). You could deselect a floor by pressing the button again. So if some little kid hit every button and got off on the second (of 20) floors, you could at least avoid having it stop at every floor on the way up. Or you could correct a mistaken press easily.
