Hehe...
A teacher of mine used to say they will soon have to transplant the ear  
closer to the mouth, looking at the mobile phones. Well, he was wrong,  
they simply used a much bigger airgap between mouth and phone.
I have more than once heared people complain about the size of knobs on  
phones, remote controls, etc.....
especially when they get older..
