【Watch Illicit Desire (2017)】

A lot of science fiction writers had theories about the future but Watch Illicit Desire (2017)sadly most of those things aren’t happening anytime soon, but at least we have FaceTime technology.

Twitter user, Justin Hill, posted a hack for the tedious act of watching water boil while making pasta.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Justin said he got the idea when he wanted to watch television and not waste time in the kitchen waiting for water to boil. He decided to FaceTime his wife’s phone which could focus on the water while he focused on TV.

Now that is what I call multitasking. You have to admit the idea is a bit ingenious if you have an extra phone lying around. Or, ya know, don't want to stand for three or four minutes.

We may never get flying cars but at least Justin Hill is living in the year 3017 with this boiling water hack.
