do you ever take remote controls for granted? you probably have a tv and if so, it probably has a remote controller that comes with it. it makes our lives easier because channels can be changed with a touch of a button without even getting up. i actually remember when i was really young, the only way to change the channel was by going right up to the tv and changing the channel. all of the controls (to change color,contrast,sharpness,etc) were changed by turning little cylinder things that popped out from the tv. i think the brand of the tv was Zenith. so how comfortable would you be if you had to get up every time you wanted to change the channel? do you feel that many people take remote controls for granted?

No, I have suffered a lot due to this remote control business only. My remote control was lost some four months ago and I wasn't having enough time to buy another one. Every time I used to get upto television and change the channel. I have suffered a lot and now can't think of watching television without remote. I watch television a lot and now I understand importance of remote.
