I thought about this once... one of the added benefits would be that stores and restaurants could automatically be multilingual
you'd probably have to RFID the stock in a retail setting. I feel that restaurants are a better place to start (on account of less fluidity in their offerings)
make a remote control with a mic with one button on it.
the altekaker (your grandma) presses the button and asks her television to do things.
the audio is matched against previous requests, or sent to a call centre with access to her command prompt.
they open skype and call the kid she wanted to call
bill is about the same as cable per month
OR for poor ppl, the audio can be sent to her grandson's phone and he can do whatever she asks and not be payed because he loves his grandma
