Is There an App for That?

I was at the Apple Store with my kids on Monday and one of the men in blue shirts was talking to a customer behind me. They were discussing apps for his i-phone. The Apple man said, "We've got apps for just about everything."

I don't have an i-phone, a smart-phone or any phone that can support apps. My phone barely supports texts. But if one of those fancy phones that support apps can truly do just about everything, I might be willing to invest.

I looked up some apps to see what was available and discovered that I can get help cheating on a Rubik's Cube, I can track the Olympics including the medal counts, I can learn guitar chords, check my blood alcohol level (if I drank), and I can even warm up my hands. All very exciting but not very tempting.

What I'd really like to see is an app that cleans toilets.


Or how about an app that picks up dog poop.


I'd love an app shaves my legs or weeds my flowers.


Maybe someone could invent an app that rearranges furniture or that gets a primary class to be reverent, or trims your toenails.


I'd love an app that puts the clothes away. I'm pretty good at the sorting, washing, drying and folding, but somewhere between folding and putting away, I often lose interest.


Maybe there's an app full of clever 140 character quips I could use on twitter to make me sound more witty than I am. 

Oh well. I can't afford an i-phone anyway, so I'll just keep performing my own apps.

What would you like an app for?
