Technology conditioning for humans:

- When entering a dark room, people will automatically grope at the wall next to the door for a light switch. This is a conditioned behavior.

- Cell phone “yawn.” Much like yawning can be contagious, people will instinctively reach for or check their own phone when someone else in the bar/room/meeting does so.

I worked in a "smart building" and it was fun to watch people do this even when lights came on automatically.
