I think people are gradually getting bored with the notion of space travel. It was cool to think about how we could populate Mars in the 1960s, but now it’s just a pipe dream that’s certainly not going to be accomplished in our lifetimes. So of course the iPhone is more important than space travel - it gets stuff done. Unlike space travel, which really hasn’t gone anywhere.

The iPhone has been rated better than a lot of things as a matter of fact. Working toilets? Who needs toilets when you have an iPhone? And the combustion engine? God forbid we go anywhere without or iPhones. Camera? Who needs one! Those other mobile phones? Junk. Yep, the iPhone is pretty great. It’s even mightier than the pen. At least according to only 4,000 UK consumers. (Kicker!)

For 4,000 people, the iPhone is 8th on their list of most awesome things ever. But what concerns me is how people value the wheel over the Internet. Who needs wheels when you have an Internet! Think people, think!
