Alright, so I went through my neighborhood to try and find some interesting items.  Here are the top three:

card reader

I think of it as low level, but one could argue that it's high level. It listens/reads the information I give it, comprehends it to know I have paid my money, and then in turn lets me through the turnstile. However, the conversation was rather boorish.

The callbox:

callbox & separate buzzer

I love this thing. It's another low level interactive piece. You press a button and it supposedly dials out to the respective room. However, if you notice above the callbox is a regular doorbell, presumably cuz the callbox has what I call FAIL.

The Landlord

This is the result of my interactive experience with my super.  He is incredibly nice, but when I mentioned to him that a brick was holding up my cabinets, he promtply came in, leaned on it, rushed out and got ANOTHER brick with pieces of tile. After shoving the second set of textiles in, he said, "There, shouldn't budge."
