Utterly pointless

Why is a kettle that starts to boil when you text it really that useful? (via Shiny Shiny).

I am all for this kind of innovation, but how about putting effort into using texting for something that really is a time saver. I mean, it doesn't take that long to boil a kettle and it is not exactly difficult to do.

Now if was a text-activated cat feeder or something, then that would be more interesting.

Sheesh. Might as well get yerself a teasmade.

What do I know. We traded in our kettle for a coffee machine instead.
