Of Friendly Elevators

Ever been in a hotel or office-building with a bank of elevators? You push a button and wait in front of one of the elevator doors hoping that's going to be the one, but nine of ten times, the one farthest goes 'ding-dong' and you have to run to get in before it gets fully loaded.

I was at the ANA Hotel in Tokyo last month and I was pleased to notice a difference. When you pushed the button, one of the elevator doors would immediately light up so you knew exactly where to stand and queue up. Now that's what I call a friendly elevator!
