The Curly Phone

I don't understand why humanity is always trying to make things that are completely pointless. Spending money on research for something that doesn't matter. Here is one example...a phone the curls when you have an incoming call. Yup, that's right. Some people with too much time and money at Queen's University have invented a prototype phone that curls up a little bit to indicate an incoming call. It has other notification features as well, such as bending corners to indicate a message.
OR........
You could have the phone vibrate or ring to let you know. I guess it's just a matter of opinion?
