Once the single-touch order system is established, the options are endless. Groceries in some parts of the country already offer delivery services, so how about connecting that? Think how sweet it'd be to able to press a jerky-shaped button and, 30 minutes later, have a friendly apron-wearing agent at your door with a bag of hickory-smoked snacks.

When we'll know we've really reached the pinnacle of our activity-free fantasy, though, is when electronics stores link their delivery services up. Why? Because we can then finally get a button to order a new TV from our TV, without having to ever take our eyes off the TV. Talk about effortless luxury.

The future, my friends, is here. The dream of having everything without moving anything has begun. Now, if you'll excuse me, my pizza should be arriving any minute, and I still have to figure out how to open the door from my seat.
