The Remote

I want to send out a personal thank you to whoever decided we need remote controls for everything. Some individual decided that sitting in leisure was not as good as CONSTANTLY sitting in leisure. The original remote was called The Lazy Bones and had a cord that ran to the TV, like old school video game controllers. But that wasn't good enough for Eugene Polley, he and Zenith wanted full disconnection. This of course paved way for the controlled lighting, music systems, and bark collars.
Fast forward 55 years and we can pretty much sit anywhere and control everything. Thank you Mr. Polley for advancing our laziest inhibitions. I'm going to nuke some lunch and have it delivered by drone to my Lazy Boy.
