6. You know how in airplanes, you can press a button and an attendant will come to you? Why can't this be done in restaurants? How much more efficient and convenient would it be if you didn't have to try to look out for the server and try to catch their eye if you were able to just press a button and know that you would be attended to.

9. When you call customer service, you have to listen to all the menus. Why isn't there one with a graphic menu for your smartphone? Like you can call, and your phone will relabel the buttons with the menu options available.
