 In this photo, you can see the internals of a light switch. The two wires connect to the top and bottom. The flat bar that goes verically down the middle is what is physically moved to connect or disconnect.

 Try building up one of these schematics, and trying out the switch testing sketch above. When the button is held down you should definately get the right printout. When its released, it may keep the old value, or it may change, but its certainly not reliable!

 One solution is to get a switch that alternates connections, like this one, diagrammed here.

 The problem is, these switches are suprisingly complex and 10 times more expensive than a little tactile button! Instead we use a trick called a **pull-down** resistor.

+{{  http://www.ladyada.net/images/arduino/pulldown.png?nolink&155x302  |}}
+<class center>//Fig 5.5 //</class>
 The pull-down resistor here is the 10K resistor. When the switch is held down, the 100Ω resistor is connected directly to 5V. When the switch is released, the 100Ω resistor is connected to the 10K resistor which **pulls it down** to ground.
@@ Line 194: / Line 205: @@
 You can also use the switch to connect the input to ground, and use a resistor as a **pull-up** resistor.
