Think back to yesterday.
-How many times did you do something that triggered the flow of electrical current?
-How would your day have been different if you'd only had half that number of activations available to you? (you do get to choose which ones you would have dropped)
--------
For the sake of the thought experiment, consider only first-order events: Pressing a button on the microwave counts, but the microwave then turning on both the emitter and the plate spinning motor don't.
Also treat individual triggers as distinct events: Dialling a phone number counts as seven (or 10, or however many digits you dialled) events, not one.
