Officially the laziest invention ever

[salienne]

Electronic staplers. Seriously. Electronic staplers. You stick in the paper, they staple.

Now, the idea sounds nifty on the surface right? Look at the wonders of technology and watch the motion detector thing figure out that there's something there! Then watch it stick a thing of metal into the paper, all on its own!

But, um, honestly... how freaking hard is it to press down on a bit of plastic? These things save you one arm motion. That's it. You still have to put the papers together, line them up, stick them in. You just don't have to push down on anything.

And jeez, these things must cost a ridiculous amount. Glad to know my tuition money is going to good use...

What's next, though, electronic page turners? You could potentially save yourself the bother of hundreds of arm motions then!

Silly inventions. *Shakes head*
