The woman in the photo is feeding her husband by mobile phone, but it would be more fun if she were feeding the phone.
Maybe in the future phones will be little mind reading imps or magical familiars that go off and fetch us things without us asking.
We’d have to feed them something more than yoghurt though, because they would turn nasty if they weren’t kept happy.
But then they already do drink our blood, because everything that’s in our hearts is in our phones as well.
And Bluetooth phones already have names. That’s not personalising, that’s personality.
The photo comes from a talk about mobile phone culture in Japan, which is here.
