McDonald's and SK Telecom Korea have teamed up to produce the first mobile phone, self-ordering system at a restaurant. Customers use their mobile phones to order from the "Touch Order'' menu and pay for their meals. When your food is ready, McDonald's sends a message to you.

Maybe someday, they'll let me just think about my order and push a button which releases a squirt of fat into my body intravenously.
