- Ballparks now let fans order food by cell phone. No more need to make that arduous hike to the concession stand or even to raise an arm to flag the peanut guy!
- Campbell's Soup at Hand, packaged in insulated sipping cups. Who has the energy to keep hoisting a spoon?
- Talking caller ID, now on many high-end phones. Pity the poor soul who has to look to see who's calling.
- The remote control living room: lights, fireplace, fan, venetian blinds. Ugh! You still have to push all those buttons.
- Pooper-scooper services: When doody calls (in Central New Jersey) clears your pooch's yard mines while you eat or watch TV, or both.
