Click and Priority Inbox

What an odd coincidence, last week I finally watched the movie "Click" (2006) with Adam Sandler, Kate Beckinsale and Christopher Walken ...  An amazing movie, of course with some hilarious (gross) jokes (Thanks to Mr Sandler) but the topic being quite heavy ... setting Life's priorities correctly... it was quite good to have an easy laugh here and there.

Is there anyone on his death bed, that would say "I wish I had spent more time at work" ? I mean ... really ?!

At first in this movie, I thought the main subject was to build a collection of Adam Sandler's gag with the "universal remote", and making some cool effects, fast forwarding in your life, having commentary, changing the volume, jumping chapters ... etc ...

But when Christopher Walken explains that skipping chapter has consequences and that we're on autopilot during that time, it rings a bell - it's actually true, to feel that we skipped some days, week, months maybe and then realize ... wow! what happened which day are we ?! is it already September ?!

And then this trick with the "universal remote" which acts according to your past actions and preferences, well spotted too - same thing, we live according to our habits, the habits we built when we were younger, the habits we inherited from our parents or relatives, great metaphors.

We should be more aware of our habits, they could be really mischievous.

And then I stumbled upon this Gmail new feature to setup a "priority inbox" ... according to our preferences, and then I thought ... that next giant "universal remote" could be Google someday?!
