I am getting increasingly forgetful these days and one of the things I just cannot remember is, where the hell I keep my remotes. I go on searching, searching and searching for the TV remote, AC remote, Oven remote...i get mad when I donot get them handy. I have fixed places for all of these, but i wouldnot get them there, at the right time!!
so, I was wondering, what great thing it would have been if remotes could come with incoming call facility!! The ringer would trace the thing and would stop the hide and seek!!
guys, what do you think ?

Not a bad idea...some intelligent scientists need to be told about your new idea.
I think, you should invariably keep your remote at a particular place, everyday...if you continue to do so, you should not face any difficulty in locating those remote controls. You can select a place which is accessible and known to you only...or while going out, you keep it in a cupboard or such place. Problems arises, when remote is used by somebody else, in your absence, that person may not keep the remote at the same place, from where he/she picket it.
Have a gread week-end!

Try keeping it in some safe custody...it should be known to you only.....where it is kept.

Mimpi i think there is a remote control that would helped you.
That can control all electric devices and would beep other remote controls that you forget where you put.
I do not know what is the name or where you can find it, but i heard of it before.
I think that you should do a googls serach for it, and hopefully you will find it.

I think, once chineses made remote is available for operating every device, but I was told by the vendor that it is not very successful here.

Anonymili beat me to it!
My first thought on reading your post was to suggest one of those keyring beeper things. I haven't seen one in a while, but they used to be very popular as keys are another one of those things you lose often.
It certainly would be worth considering to bring them to the market again, as modern technology could make them much smaller and more effective than they used to be in the 80's.

LOL how sweet @ losing remotes! That's the problem these days with having so many remote controls that we lose them too often. Do you even remember the days when you had to stand up and walk to the TV to change the channel or turn down the volume? How lazy we've become as the human race with remotes for everything. I remember watching an episode of Friends where Joey is watching some TV show which he'd normally never watch and when one of the other Friends walks in and looks at him like "why are you watching THIS?" he says he can't find the remote!
There are keys or keyrings you can buy here which respond to you whistling or clapping, maybe you can get some of those and sellotape them to your remotes hahaha! OR you could get a patent on a similar type of remote control as others have suggested here hun? xx

Dear mimpi1911
I guess your demand is quite right and must be fulfilled. I hope remote control with incoming call facility should be there to overcome this type of problem. You know one day what happened with me .. I put my mobile phone in silent mode and forgot where I kept it in my house and our area light was gone and I was searching for my mobile phone here and there by dialing the number again and again .. but I remember that I put it on silent mode so I was so much unable to track it and the damm light was also not coming .. Then I started searching for it with the help of candle .. and then finally I got it in my bathroom .. lolz .. so what exactly I want to say is .. what incoming facility will do if you put the remote control in silent mode ??

hi gabby,
i try and keep those in proper places but since my 10 year old neice has taken charge of the house, its in complete pandemonium. she will stay for the summers after which she will return to her place - till then i think, i will have to bear it all. lol..
