Yes! An invention that can help make me lazier! I just know that if I had this in my room I would be throwing things at the wall permanently hoping to turn it off without having to get up. Light switches are generally incredibly ugly so it would be fantastic to not have to worry about them!

Wow that's really cool! Stuff like that would come in handy for little people, or handicapped people who need help reaching light switches and things. 🙂

I love this. Two very different reactions. "Think of the drunks!" "Think of the disabled!"
