If the button in lost has to be pressed every 108 minutes, why was it set up in the first place? Because surely before technology, etc, they would have not had any button to press and the Earth was fine.

I guess that depends on what the button does. Desmond failed to push it once and it was the day of the plane crash. Did he really cause it?? Someone suggested once that they were in a "Snow globe" - what if that button was affecting an electro magnetic force field of some sort. That would've had to be set up by humans. The doctor man that Rose went to in Australia said something about electro magnetic forces being present at different places on the earth enabling healings, maybe the Dharma people figured out how to harness that natural energy and set up the force field or whatever. Then the button would only be necessary from that point onward. I don't believe it affects the whole earth, just the island. IMO
Just rambling hypotheses. Too many unknowns to make a for sure answer, so these are just my ideas.

I think that was one of those unresolved issues about the show, is pressing the button a hoax, a psychological study to see if the subject would continue to press the button or was it a real threat. It seems that a lot of stuff ends up being an illusion set up to frighten the characters.

No one knows why the button was set up... it is one of the many mysteries of the island.
