MOST FIRVOLOUS USE OF TECHNOLOGY - EVER.

Category: Science fact!

I do believe I have reached a certain height of technology induced lazines that is hard to beat. If this feat has been beat, I would like to hear of it.
It is extraordinary for the use of technology infrastracture for the least possible reason and utilty. Is it looking for aliens in the contents of a duck's stomach? Certainly, less useful to the human race than blowing 1 billion U$ dollars a week on a war nobody needs (hey, this is Wulf's blogg, you didnt think we'd miss at least one reference to that BS).

I have misplaced my mobile phone. Albeit, only by the means of the thing falling off my desk in the darkened room. What was my ingenious solution to this quandry?
Get up and switch on the light? Nay, too physical.
Reach over to the left and pick up the desklight and cast some illumination on the floor. Nay! Too obvious!

Why not use the multimilion dollar telecommunication infrastructure and send a personal deamon doing my bidding through the bizantyne intricasies of the telecommunication systems maze. Reach for the (landline) phone, dial my mobile.
Sparks fly, relays click, photons are injected into fiber optics, data streams spawn and die. Wonderous mysteries of geekdom cause the phone to ring and thus betray its presence under my chair.

I have not done anything less extraordinarily lazy before in my life.
Nor do I hope to do so ever again.
