this is top five I'm Maya's actor we as a society have worked very hard so we don't have to work very hard these are the top 5 tech innovations fueled by laziness by the way we all know the wheel should be the true number one on all lists but let's stick to recent tech at number 5 QR codes let me get something straight you want me to get my camera app out or a QR app instead of typing in something in an app store or a browser that almost sounds like a victory for laziness at number 4 smart lightbulbs getting up to flick a manual switch to turn on or turn off the light bulb is practically living in the Stone Age I'm either gonna grab my phone to talk to a hub that controls my light bulbs or I'm just going to yell to Alexa to take care of all the lights at number 3 wireless charging pads because connecting a cable to your device was just too much work we've got these things you buy a charging pad you plug that into the wall then you place a compatible device onto that charging pad boom you're charging your gadget without directly using a wire at number 2 Amazon - buttons when these things were announced I thought they were part of an onion headline but Amazon made one-click shopping happen in real life by offering the Amazon - buttons if you're unfamiliar you can get an Amazon - button which is linked to a particular product when you click that physical button you're actually ordering more of that product Amazon has buttons for lots of things including dog food toilet paper and of course Doritos at number one remote control apps the mote controls are amazing when I was a kid our TV had all the buttons on the front because it was a good chance it actually uses them remote controls have gotten a lot better since I was a kid but remote control apps changed everything instead of searching all over the house were a lost remote I could just launch an app to control my connected TV or receiver or Roku box or Apple TV or whatever then there's the amazingness that is the Harmony line to ensure maximum loser there you have it another top five that will live forever a top five see Netcom that's where we keep all our top fives thanks for watching and we'll catch you later
