A Bad Joke?

Before Apple Computer officially announced the launch of iPhone5, which already had been gossiped that it would be longer in size than the current model, many hotheaded fans started discussion on even the further future of this gear. Many people appear to believe that the iPhone will become longer and longer, and the imaginary iPhone 10 I've seen, is drawn to be like a sword. By the 1,000th, it's joked that the length would be longer than the world's highest building.
I actually don't think so. I think it'll reverse to getting even smaller, and someday, it might even disappear from your palm.
Why?
Because you'll give commands through the portrayal of your thoughts.
The iPhone 100 wouldn't have any buttons, with the exception of the on/off button, and no display. The actual body of the gear could be as large as the pagers that we used to carry in our pockets, more than 15 years ago.
And as iPhone evolves further, fanatic fans might even encounter a situation in which they may need to decide whether they want to embed a microchip in their brains. The name of the chip is likely to be iPhone 1000.
What will you do? I certainly will not.

An Ideal Remote Controller

A few years ago, I found an article which introduced an amusing remote controller. It's designed to control women easily as if you're changing channels on TV! Incidentally, the article also introduced a remote to control men.
The remote controller has buttons like "cook" and "take off clothes" (for myself, the most convenient button might be "forget"). 
Of course it was created as a bad joke. Each command is nothing but a symbol of sexism.
Having said that, I wish I had it indeed. If possible,  I'd even like to redesign it. I think the remote controller should have just one single button- "smile". I bet it will make both women and men happy. Although smile is said to be the result of happiness, I believe smile is the cause of happiness.
