make a remote control with a mic with one button on it.

the altekaker (your grandma) presses the button and asks her television to do things.

the audio is matched against previous requests, or sent to a call centre with access to her command prompt.

they open skype and call the kid she wanted to call

bill is about the same as cable per month OR for poor ppl, the audio can be sent to her grandson's phone and he can do whatever she asks and not be payed because he loves his grandma
