iPhone TV Remote No Longer A Fantasy

Since Apple filed a patent for tech that would let you control your home computer with your iPhone or iPod touch, that was neat and all, but the functionality already existed in third-party apps. Now a new app will help iPhones seize control of the home theatre instead of the desktop.

Everything seems can be true since the launching of iPhone or iPod, we can watching TV or movie, playing games, talking to friends (MSN or talking over the phone), online shopping, reading books etc. We even do not need to turn on the computer but only lying on the couch and using the phone in this way.  

No wonder some people say that iPhone is making people lazy and harm to our health (always seating or lying). It is because technology to make you lazy. Better technology allows us to become more sedentary, which naturally leads us to be more lazy. Is convenience really worth becoming lazy? The thing to remember is that  the devices made to make life more convenient, not something to rely on, too much of anything is never a good thing.
