Could doing nothing get even easier?
New research promises that implanted brain sensors will help paralyzed people perform tasks. I know what you’re all thinking: Hello? What about lazy people? Soon we’ll be able to perform pesky tasks such as opening the door, turning on the TV, or ordering a pizza without lifting a finger! The implications are astonishing. You could see the pizza commercial on TV (which you turned on with your mind), order pizza by brain-dialing, then blink open the door for the pizza guy! Maybe you’d have to get up to tip, but I’m sure they can come up with a way to solve that. I mean we don’ t need telekinesis or magic if the technology will do it for us! Of course we will need to engineer pizza delivery-bots, tip-bots and TV repair-bots, but we can outsource that to India! The future just gets brighter and brighter, doesn’t it?

We could get the bots to think for us, but the pizza toppings might suck!
