Wait ... wait ... I am beginning to see the light! Let's get RID of steering wheels for cars. Cars should be steered by a command line interface! Of course, why didn't I see it before! automobile.com -buick -steer -right -degrees -80 And televisions too ... you change the channel by typing: television.exe -living room -channel -change 003 That's so much better than pressing a button or two! And if you have an itch to scratch, don't reach up and scratch it. Just type: c:\program files\human body\me.exe -skin -scratch d:\my itches\forehead.txt (Of course you have already saved details about the itch in a text file called forehead.txt.)
