In fact, when branding expert Martin Lindstrom examined people’s brains in an MRI machine to see how they responded to images and sounds from their smartphones, what he found is that the subjects’ brains responded to the sound of their phones as they would respond in the presence of a girlfriend, boyfriend or close family member. In other words, their phones elicited feeling of honest-to-goodness, real love.
On the surface, loving a smartphone sounds like something from a creepy sci-fi movie, but I think that feeling of love is actually a lot more old-fashioned than it sounds. After all, sometimes our phones are as close as we can get to the people we love. They allow us to talk and send messages - even photos and video - to stay connected. For couples, however, what a phone can’t replace is the physical component in the relationship. At least not until now.
Today, OhMiBod fired up an Indiegogo campaign for their latest prototype: An app that will make it possible to remotely control several compatible OhMiBod sex toys from anywhere via an iOS or Android smartphone. By adding Wi-Fi capabilities, partners can use this app to keep not only an emotional connection, but a very hot physical one, even when they are miles apart.

We’ve seen so many surveys showing that people would choose their smartphones over sex, or that they’ve used their smartphones while doing the deed. But I don’t take that as a sign that technology is driving couples apart; we’re all just trying to figure out how to use these tools to be more connected to everyone all the time. What we really love about our phones is that they connect us to others in new ways. OhMiBod’s Remote app provides yet another new way to reach out and touch someone you love - a way that's hot, sexy, unique and yet still intimate. God I love my smartphone.
